F.I.S.H. Binders
What is a F.I.S.H.?
 A
FISH is a special binder that your child will carry to and from
school everyday this year.
FISH is an acronym for Family
Involvement Starts Here.
The
FISH will help your child stay organized and keep you in touch
with our classroom.
F.I.S.H. Rules:
Take
care of your FISH; it will be used all year!
Clean
out the "Keep at Home" pocket every evening.
Take
your FISH home everyday and bring it back each morning.
Keep
your FISH clean - do not eat or drink in front of your FISH!
Show
your FISH to your parents everyday - they will be so
proud of your new responsibility!
F.I.S.H. Dont's:
Don't
make any marks or drawings in or on your FISH.
Don't leave your FISH at home, in the car or
bus, or at daycare.
Don't let anyone borrow your FISH or tear pages out of your FISH.

First Clear Sleeve:
Newsletter / Daily Schedule

|

Pocket Folder
Important Papers/ Classwork
|
Your child's work will come home in this
folder every Friday. This work should be taken out, reviewed with your child,
and kept at home. In this folder, any important school notices, PTO
letters, or items that cannot wait until Friday will come home. This is the
folder to check for the weekly behavior chart.

Notebook Paper:
Family-Teacher Communication Log
|
This paper will serve as our
family/teacher communication log. This will be for notes between you and me.
Please stress to your children that this is ONLY for the teacher and parents
to write in. Check this section daily and I will try to do the same. Please
ask your child to let me know when there is a note from you in the log.
I will not have time to check each communication log for notes each day. There
will be a special place in the classroom for your child to place his/her FISH
Binder in if it has a note for the teacher. I ask that you leave any notes
that we may write in the notebook so that we can look back and remember any
communications we may have had. I will initial all notes I read from you and
ask that you do the same. That way, we know our notes have been read, even
when no response is necessary.
