Yesterday your child received his/her KOALA Book, which is a huge part of our home-school communication. At the front of the KOALA Book you will find an explanation of the different sections of the binder. The KOALA Book helps develop organizational skills and promotes responsibility. Please check the KOALA Book each night with your child, paying close attention to the front and back pockets. Homework will go in the front pocket and any important papers from school that might need to be returned will be in the back pocket. Today I sent home a “tell me about your child” sheet that I told the students was “parent homework.” This form provides me with a lot of valuable information that will help me best teach your child. Please complete the form and return it to school as soon as possible. There is also a “2nd Grade Homework Policy” sheet that explains our expectations and provides some suggestions for homework time. Please review this sheet and return it to school with your child.
If you have any questions about the KOALA Book, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
A KOALA Book explanation is also available right here on our class blog: http://teacherpress.ocps.net/sarahmcbride/koala-books/

I am also posting a few other documents that were included in the KOALA Book this week: the Homework Log, August calendar, and directions for the self-portrait project (as well as some examples to get you inspired!).
