Behavior Chart |
This section will have a copy of their behavior chart. The chart will be filled out daily. Please be sure to initial the chart each night. |
|
Weekly Homework Sheet |
This is where you will find your child’s weekly homework assignments. I will include a typed list each week. This will be added on Monday each week. Additional assignments will be handwritten if needed. If there is not a typed copy of their homework assignments, an additional weekly homework sheet will be added. They can write down each assignment if needed. In addition, A copy of Rapp’s Reader will on the back of their homework sheet. This will explain what your child will be learning in my class each week. Also, pay close attention to the important dates listed. |

Notebook paper: Parent/Teacher Communication |
This will be for notes between you and me. Please stress to your children that this is ONLY for your teacher and parents to write in. I will be writing notes to you in this section and looking for communications from you there. PLEASE DATE EACH ENTRY! Check daily and I will do the same for communications from you. I would also 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. This will help me remember what we've discussed and when we discussed it. I try to check it regularly, but occasionally we get busy and a note goes unread. I 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. |

Homework Folder: |
This is where you will find your child’s nightly homework assignments. A reading log will be included in their homework folder each week to keep track of the AR books that are being read at home. Please let your child read it to you or read it together. Return books the next day (unless the book requires more than one night to read). The more your child reads, the better your child will become at reading! |
