PAWS Binder/Prepared and Wonderful Students

PAWS Binder

The paws binder is a three-ring notebook that your first grader will use everyday to develop organizational skills and learn responsibility.  First grade is a foundational year, and it is important to teach children how to keep up with homework, tests, and important notes.  This book is a way of maintaining effective communication between home and school.  It aims to eliminate lost notes, newsletters, calendars, and homework as well as keep parents and students informed of important events and academic progress.

What’s inside the paws binder?

*Important Notes- This pocket is to be used to send notes to the teacher that need immediate attention, such as carpool changes, doctor's appointments, urgent concerns, etc.  I will also use this pocket to send you notes that require immediate attention.  Please check this section daily.

*Daily Behavior Calendar:  Please check the calendar daily for a paws stamp.  Students can earn special treats for good behavior.  If your child doesn’t earn a paws stamp for the day, I will document misbehavior in the section behind calendar.

*Homework- Homework is assigned to reinforce classroom activities and to instill responsibility in students rather than to assess their performance on the work completed.  Homework grades will not be assigned, but students who complete their homework will earn rewards.  Those who do not complete homework will be required to do homework during recess or free time.  Sight words and math facts can be found behind the homework section in the PAWS binder.

*AR Log-First graders should read every night.  Please sign the AR log when your child is ready to test on their library book.

*Homework Helpers-This section contains pages to help you to help your child with their homework. Practicing these activities at home will help your child become more successful in the classroom!

*Keep at Home-(back pocket of binder

PAWS Binder Rules

*Please take very good care of your paws binder.  It will be used all year.

*Please do not make any marks or drawings in your paws binder.

*Clean out the “keep at home” section (back pocket of binder) every evening.

*Take your paws binder home with you every day and bring it to school with you in the morning.  After your homework is done, put it back in your backpack so you won’t forget it!

*Keep your paws binder clean.  Please do not eat or drink while using it.

*Show your paws binder to your family every day.  They will be so proud that you are learning responsibility.
