When I taught first grade, I would check the papers myself but all papers were returned on Friday in a green folder. By doing this the parents knew when to expect the papers. I had a form where I tried to write a comment about each child each week. I would try to put all my communication in the Friday folder. The child had to bring back the Friday folder on Monday. I love the Friday folder! My son's teachers have done that for years. I wanted to do that at my school but other teachers on my team did not want the parents to wait to see the work which is a little ironic seeing as though many kids bring their folders back with everything still in it! My son's teachers also had a form attached to the "Friday" folder for parent's signature to indicate that they saw the work and a spot for any comments. Great communication tool! ~jen _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
