This year your child will be using an F.R.O.G. Binder.  F.R.O.G. stands for First grader Responsible, Organized, and Growing.  The purpose of the binder is to help your child stay organized as they grow and learn responsibility.  Your child needs to bring the binder to school every day. Below you will find a brief description of each section of the binder. 

Red folder: This folder is for school papers. Take these out daily.

One side is for papers to leave at home and the other side is for papers that need to be return to school.

Zippered pouch:  This pouch is for lunch money, field trip money, scholastic money, permission forms and office notes such as Dr. Appointments, early dismissal, etc. 

Behavior Log: The behavior log will be filled out each day. It will have a smiling face or a sad face in the color level your child ended the day on.

Communication log:  This section provides a space for parent and teacher to communicate.  Please initial any notes I write in the log to indicate you’ve read them.

Homework folder (yellow): (inside front cover pocket):  Your child will place their homework in this pocket each day.  Place completed homework back in the homework pocket.  I will collect homework the next day.
