BOOKBAGS

~We have marked your child's folders with specific titles. Their "Homework" folder and "Take Home" folder will stay in their book bag and can be emptied nightly.

~We will start assigning homework approximately in late October. Sometimes the homework will only be required to be completed on one side and returned since the children did not yet learn the concept for the other side. They will be made aware of this.

~Please check your child's "Homework Folder" nightly. Help your child complete the work with a pencil [not pen] and crayon for coloring [not marker] and then sign the work to show you have seen it. Replace the homework back in the "Homework Folder" so your child can get in the habit of returning it to school with this process. The children will usually get homework Monday-Thursday...not on Fridays. The homework will be marked either with a "HW" or the word "HOMEWORK" will be stamped on it.

~Remember the "homework folder" stays in the book bag. The "Take Home" folder in their book bag is for any other notes from me [or for me] or any work your child completed to bring home {check this folder nightly} and keep this folder in their book bag as well.

~Please check your children's book bags on a nightly basis for finished work as well as homework that must be completed and returned the next day. Be sure to remove completed work so the children don't get overwhelmed in finding any notes to turn in to the teacher the next day. Thank you.
