I would like each child to purchase a binder created by me for $6.50. So, what is a F.R.O.G. Binder? F.R.O.G. is an acronym: For Really Organized Guys/Girls The F.R.O.G. Book is a three-ring notebook that students use everyday to develop organizational skills and learn responsibility. It is important to teach children how to keep up with homework, tests, and important notes. This book is a way of maintaining effective communication between home and school. It aims to eliminate lost notes, newsletters, calendars, and homework as well as keep parents and students informed of important events and academic progress. EVERYTHING a student and parents need is in the notebook. NO more lost notes or wrinkled papers in the bottom of backpacks! NO more lost homework or missing lunch money! Students will need to bring the F.R.O.G. binder to school each day and take it home each day. You will need to get in the habit of checking the binder at home. Bringing the binder back will be part of your child's Work Habits grade on the report card. Encourage your child to become more independent by being responsible for putting his or her F.R.O.G. Binder in his/her book-bag every night before going to bed. This will mean a calm and relaxed commute to school and a confident second grader who will be prepared to start the day off right.
