Binders



This year we are staying organized with binders. 3M students will bring these to and from school every day. It's very important that they are never left at home!

Here is an overview of each binder section:


WHITE FOLDER = DOLPHIN FOLDER
The white folder is our Dolphin Folder this year. We labeled it as such this morning.

Things that are in the 'Take Home' side need to stay at home. Things that need to be completed  and brought back to school are on the 'Return to School' side.


OTTER CREEK FOLDER
Your child can practice their Otter Creek level by using a dry erase marker with the plastic sleeve. The leveled pages should NOT be written on or taken out of this folder.


WTW TAB DIVIDER
Your child's spelling words will be in a baggie and stored in this pocket. They will also write their list on a piece of paper. They can use either of these to study their spelling words during the week.

Occasionally, there might be a spelling page that we are working on together in class. This is not homework, it's class work. Homework will always be in the White/Dolphin folder.


ALL OTHER TAB DIVIDERS
We will keep all of our classwork in these tabs. This work should not be completed at home or left at home.


If you have any questions, your child should be able to explain it. If they aren't sure, feel free to email me! :)
