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.
