This year, your child will be given a very special
HORSE. They are to bring their HORSE to school every single day and
take it home each night.
The HORSE will be a tool to help your child learn the
important skill of organization and will be a communication device
between home and school.
Your child's HORSE has several important features.
There are two pockets. One is marked "HOMEWORK" and is the first
thing you will see inside of your child's HORSE. This is where all
homework and the homework assignment sheet will be placed. This will
help your child know exactly where to find their work and will help
me quickly locate it each morning when I check everyone's HORSE.
The next thing you will find inside your HORSE is
your HORSES's "Saddle Bag." The Saddle bag is a velcroed page
protector where you can send important things to school! Please send
all permission slips, lunch money, bus notes, book orders, or other
important items in this clear sheet protector. Your HORSE will help
them get to school safely!
Next, you will
find... HORSE rules in a clear sheet protector.
There are also
"Speller's Choice" activites inside a clear sheet protector. There
is one sheet protector where we will place our spelling words each
week also.
After your spelling words pocket, there is a
page protector called "The Hitching Post". All documents that
I here need to stay hitched right here! Inside will be a
class-list as well as log-in information for RAZ-Kids.com. I
may be placing other papers here as the year goes on!
There are
sheets of notebook paper that are to be left in the HORSE and used
only for parent/teacher communication. If you need to let me know
any important information, you can write it in your child's HORSE
(please date it!), and I will check these daily. I will respond to
you in the HORSE also. Please leave all communication inside the
HORSE so we have a record if we need to look back on any of our
notes.
One of
the last features of your child's HORSE is a signature sheet that I
ask you to sign every weekend when the HORSE comes home full of the
week's classwork.
Finally,
you will find their Friday pocket filled with all of their good work
for the week. Please take some time to sit down with your child and
"oooh" and "aaaah" over their work. When you have finished, you may
keep their work and sign the siguature sheet. Your HORSE is ready to
come back to school on Monday!
