How do the homework folders work?
Over the first few weeks of school, first graders learn how to be responsible for their homework folder. They will receive explicit instruction and have time to practice turning in important papers to the teacher along with turning in their homework assignments. Children take time learning this procedure, so patience is necessary. The homework folder goes home every night and is stored in the student’s desk every day. Parents can help their child by placing homework on one side of the folder, and homework on the other. Talk with your child about what papers need to be given to the teacher.
