Homework Binders
Each day our homework binders will come home and should be returned to school with all of the contents in tact.
What's inside?
The Homework Binder includes just about everything your child will need each night! Inside you will find your child's....
Homework log- where daily homework will be recorded. This is always in the front of the binder.
Username Page- contains all usernames and passwords for websites.
Take home folder- the navy blue folder located in the front of the binder. Please check these folders daily as there will be work that can be kept at home and/or papers to be signed and returned.
*"Empty Me"
The left pocket says "EMPTY ME". Any papers in this pocket can be kept at home. Papers could be tests with a score of 80% and above, classwork, flyers, information from the office, or information from me. The information should be read carefully and emptied prior to returning the folder to school the next day. It is very important to empty this pocket regularly so that your child's take home folder does not become too heavy and begin to fall apart.
*"Sign and Return"
The right pocket says "sign and return". Papers that will be in this pocket include tests below 80%, important information from the office or me (i.e. progress reports, permission slips). The information in this pocket should be reviewed carefully and signed prior to returning the folder to school the next day.
Spelling tab- where you can find spelling lists for the week.
Math homework tab- where any math homework sheets are located.
Math tools tab- where any math resources will be located to help with homework and studying.
Sci/SS tab- where study guides are found for upcoming tests.
Guided reading folder- located in the back of the binder where any guided reading assignments will be located. Remember, when your child has a guided reading assignment, they are not required to read an additional 20 minutes. Please remember to record the guided reading homework on the reading log!
SCHOLASTIC MONTHLY BOOKS ORDERS
At the beginning of each month, I will be sending home scholastic book orders. If you'd like to order online, you can navigate to www.scholastic.com and use our class code, L4BJ6 to place an order. I submit the orders at the end of the month and they usually arrive within a week! It's that easy! :)
