New Option for Organization: ACCORDION FOLDERS!!!
I pitched the idea of accordion folders to my students, with an overwhelming response: 17 out of 23 students were interested in using accordion folders rather than binders! I have seen many students have a hard time with binders this year, so I am offering to donate one high-quality accordion folder to each student for FREE! Please read my detailed blog post, Binders vs. Accordion Folders, for more information regarding the two methods of staying organized at school. If your child wants a free accordion folder, I will be labeling them myself and distributing them over the next couple of weeks.
New Classroom Storage Space for Students
Because we have had so many students prematurely take home and recycle assignments that I had yet to record in my gradebook, I created a storage space in my classroom for students to put all of their graded work. In the crate on the counter adjacent to the door, each student has their own hanging folder to keep their graded assignments in. Note: This is optional. It is simply another choice for students who often lose papers at home.
Parent SurveyAll parents should have already received an email regarding the Parent Survey. Please complete this survey as soon as you can, as it is important for the future of our school! Thank you.
