Second grade is a time when students begin to develop the organizational skills they will need to become independent, responsible adults. But, at ages seven and eight, they need a lot of support to build that responsibility! This paper organizer, which we will use as a mailbox, will make it much easier for students to convey important messages home . My students' parents are a critical part of their education--and I want to make communication between me and them as easy as possible. My students will develop a routine to take home notes, permission slips, graded work, and reminders from their own designated mail slot. We'll build habits for discussing completed work with their families, and for consistently conveying important messages from school to the adults in their lives.
