Life's+Work


 * Life’s Work/Binder **
 * Life’s Work is such an important piece of your bright one’s education. It is important that they begin to learn the skills needed to be a responsible individual. On the other hand, they are still young. They need a parent or guardian checking their agenda each night to help them keep up with the challenging curriculum and staying organized. **


 * Life’s Work will be assigned each night with the exception of Fridays. Your bright one will have something to complete in **** Reading ****, Spelling, and Math each night. They will have a binder that holds their agenda book and a two-pocket folder to help keep them organized. It is IMPORTANT that they bring this to school with them everyday. At the end of each day, your bright one will copy their assignment in their agenda book. I will walk around to check that they have what they need and mark their behavior card in their agenda book. I will also write any notes regarding their behavior or reminders. Please check their agenda each night. It is the most effective communication between us. I expect their agenda to be signed each night. One side of their folder will be Life’s Work to be completed and brought back to school the following day. The other side of the folder will be graded papers and mail from the office to keep at home. **

 * During Morning Business, I will check each student’s agenda and Life’s Work. If Life’s Work is missing, your student will miss time out of snack or recess to complete their work. **
