T.I.G.E.R. Books

A T.I.G.E.R. Book is one of the main connections that you will have with me this school year. It is also a great tool for teaching organization and responsibility to your child. It is a 3-ring binder with a folder, sheet protectors, and a divider inside. For the first several weeks of school, I will help the children determine what papers go where. Because they may not be able to read the labels, I have included clipart on each section label. They will learn to associate the picture with what kind of papers go in that part of the book. I will describe each section below.

The inside pocket is where I will put any homework assignments that your child has. Later in the year when I begin to send a book pouch home, it will go in this pocket.

The Tiger Pouch is where you will put any lunch money or notes from home. This keeps important things from getting lost, and it is easy for children to see through the pouch window to see if they have anything to give to the teacher.

The folder inside the binder has two important sections: Return to School and Leave at Home. I will put any forms that need to be signed and returned to school (such as field trip permission slips or missed work) in the Return to School pocket. All of your child's checked work, newsletters, and other notes from school go home in the Leave at Home pocket.

The last section of the T.I.G.E.R. Book is for Parent/Teacher Communication. In the divider pocket, your child will have a behavior calendar. The children earn a sticker on their calendars each day for being a good citizen. Behind the divider will be blank notebook paper for you to use if you need to write me a note. (Please tear the page out and put the note in the Tiger Pouch, though, so your child will see it the next morning.
