 * I will place important notes and daily work inside the front cover of the binder. Please be sure to go through all of the papers in this section and empty it out nightly.
 * Place all money and notes inside of the zippered pocket. Any money that is sent to school should also be inside a labeled envelope with a description of what it is for.
 * Please initial the box on the behavior chart each night so that I know you have seen it. Your child should have a sticker in the box indicating that they have had a good day.
 * We will also have a “RAH” sheet inside of the yellow folder on the left hand side. “RAH” will start in September when we start to visit the library.
 * This section will have letter recognition, sounds, color words, sight words, number recognition, shapes, etc… I will begin testing the children on some of these skills in September. Be sure to work on the skills that your child is struggling with. I will let you know if there is anything in particular that you need to practice.
 * We will begin doing monthly homework in September. Your child will color each square as they complete the task. I will only check this section occasionally, but you should try to complete a little bit each week.
