Hi Friends! Happy Thursday! I hope you are having a good week. I’ve got some FAB news! Tomorrow is my birthday! I am SUPER excited y’all! I am truly blessed that God has allowed me to see another birthday. PTL! A big day like this is a great time to celebrate… right? Well, let’s get the party started!
I am constantly trying to keep in touch with parents. It’s important to keep documentation of phone calls, face-to-face conversations, emails,…etc. I have a “Keep In Touch Binder” near the telephone in my classroom. There is a Parent Communication Log where I can easily document the day, time, who I talked to, and the reason for the call, email, or convo.
I keep a Student Profile Sheet inside of the binder. I have parents complete this sheet during the first day of school. It lets me know pertinent information about each child.
I keep the binder organized using these Ready Index Dividers (A-Z tabs). I alphabetize the Student Profile Sheet and Parent Communication Log by the student’s last name.
You will need a 1” binder and Avery Ready Index Dividers.
Here’s what it looks like: (Note: Since I have a spaced-themed classroom, my cover looks a little different than the one above.)
Second, we are doing our first giveaway with Rafflecopter. Yikes! It seems pretty simple. We can handle this, friends. :)

Happy birthday! One of the fun ways that I celebrated my birthday previously was to visit three countries in a day (because we live near the border at that time)!

ReplyDeleteHi Lori! Thanks for stopping by and entering the giveaway. Our little munchkin is loving kindergarten. He just misses nap time. Can you believe that? I don't blame him. I would miss nap time too. :)

Hey Debbie! Thanks for your comment! I had a fantastic birthday! My guys sure know how to treat a girl! Believe it or not, I am still working on the rocket. I can't seem to find much time to work on it lately. :( I will still post pics when it's all done. So sorry to keep you waiting. :)
