What is the To Do Folder?

At the end of a lesson, incomplete classroom work is put into a student's To 
Do Folder. Homework that requires revision is also kept in this folder.

Several times a week, students are given the opportunity to work on their To 
Do Folders and turn in completed or revised work.  Periodically, students 
are asked to take one or two items from this folder for homework.

What is the Reading and Multiplication Log?

This log book is a weekly summary of the reading and multiplication fact 
practice that students complete for homework Monday through Thursday. 
Students should log their work for both tasks each night. A parent or 
guardian is asked sign the log on Thursday night prior to the student 
turning in the log on Friday. Please encourage and celebrate student effort 
and perseverance.  Please remember that children are asked to read each and 
every day, at least 30 mins and the choices for reading are varied.  I look 
forward to looking at and appreciating the logs each week.

I know that my child needs to read every day. What should they read?

Well, there are so many choices! Please encourage a diversity of options: 
chapter books, picture books, children's magazines, poetry selections, 
reading a book out loud with family members (perhaps trading turns reading 
sections or chapters), reading out loud to a younger family member, and so 
on. Have fun while reading!
