Parent Assignment #1

Please find the yellow folder sent home with your child today. Your task:

With your child's input, decorate all surfaces of your child's folder (inside and out) with some or all of the following items:

• Pictures of memorable events from your child's life
• Pictures or advertisements of your child's interests

Pictures of topics which particularly interest your child (your child may have an interest in machines, space, dinosaurs, soccer, etc.)

Before placing something on the folder consider: how will this lend itself to a dicussion between your child and their teacher, or how will this help your child to brainstorm topics for writing?

 Return the decorated folder to school with your child by Wednesday, September 4th.

You might notice that the folders are not very substantial in quality. After the folder is decorated you may want to consider adding a bit of clear packing tape over the items which you have attached. We will be using these folder the entire year.

Please post any questions you may have in the comment section below.
