What are Friday Folders, you ask?
Once a week, on Fridays, your child will bring home all their word in their homework folder but I refer to this day as "Friday Folders". On Fridays, their folder will contain work that has been corrected or looked at by me and returned. Your child will bring this folder home so you can look over his work. I think it is a great way for you to stay up on what your child is working on at school and it also gives you a jumping off point for discussions at home. Please remove the papers during the weekend so they have room to put their reading logs and papers from the next week in there.
For example, when you ask, "How was school? What did you do today?"
and your child says, "Fine. Nothing." you can use their Friday Folder work to prompt them to give some details such as,
"I saw your paper about fact families. What is a fact family anyway?"
Thank you!
