Homework Box Freebie

Pin It

My homework boxes are finished!!  

Each of my students take one of these boxes home at our open house. 

Boxes are 11 1/4 by 8 3/4 by 4 inch Tuck Top Mailing Boxes from PaperMart

The box keeps everything they need to do their homework, in one place.

Here's what went into each box:

2 dot cubes (dice)

7-12 number cube 

crayons

sight word flashcards

number cards(to play math games)

"I Am Skippyjon Jones" by Judy Schachner

The labels are printed on Avery White Internet Shipping Labels (18126)

I printed my "Homework Helps"  on card stock and laminated them.

Monday Morning Madness

Happy Monday everyone!  First, I was just wondering if anyone else is having problems with their followers disappearing?  Mine have vanished and I can't see the follow button on any other blogs...kinda frustrating.  I was also wondering if you are able to see my followers and follow(please) me?  If you are having this problem (I hate being alone:)  or better yet if you know how to fix it, I would be so grateful!!   Second item of business this morning.  I had a couple of people request a jungle themed communication folder like my "frog folder" I shared a few weeks ago.  It is now finished and in my TpT store this morning.  I had a lot of fun making it.  If you would be interested in a different themed folder let me know!  I am working on my "Wild West" word wall this morning and it will be in my store this afternoon.  OK, I think that's everything....maybe!  Just Keep Smilin'

Frog Folder

Pin It

Hello my blogging friends! I have been working on my back to school to do list this morning and I thought I would share. Communication between home and school is so critical. I have found the easiest way to facilitate this communication is by using a homework folder. My students are responsible for bringing this folder to school each morning and taking it home every afternoon. The folder includes:

a pocket for homework

a pocket for notes, newsletters, flyers

an envelope for box tops, lunch money, etc.

blank lined paper for parent/teacher communication

a section with important information for parents:

my phone number

my e-mail

class schedule

specialty schedule

literacy and math suggestions

grading information

pond report:

daily behavior report

individual behavior contracts (if needed)

This has worked so well for me and parents LOVE it. They always know where to look for homework, notes, and classroom information. No more backpack diving:
