Home/school communication is tough in my classroom. With most of my students taking the bus to and from school making parent contact can be tough. I love setting up a home/school communication binder so I can easily share information and notes home.I also encourage parents to use the binders to provide me with any information (students had a rough morning, didn't eat, etc.). I make sure I take 5-10 minutes during our morning routine to check binders and we pack them up at the end of the day so students take home any important information.To read more about my binders, check out this post:bit.ly/3Me7a13 ...
