You should be able to go through your child's 3-ring binder now and find helpful information in nearly every section. We've been adding pieces and discussing them daily. One of the most important parts of the binder for YOU is at the front. The pocket in the front (or the front section) is where I send papers home. Those papers get taken out. The front of the binder should get cleaned out at least every weekend, and you should look over the papers.
The front is also where your child keeps a list of due dates. At the end of each day I have the students pull out their 3-ring binder, open it to the front, go to their assignment list, and add any new assignments they have. As they complete assignments, they get to cross them off. What joy, what a sense of accomplishment, what bliss! (We all know how great it is the knock things off a list!)
Remember, you can also go to the calendar (see the elementary stuff tab) to look for due dates coming up.
