Homework folders for primary students.
Homework has always been something that I’ve created at the last minute for the students. In the past, it usually ended up being an activity or reading passage that we didn’t get to finish for the day. But then, I wanted to more intentional about my homework. And I wanted to make sure I gave my kids an opportunity to spiral review their prior standards. Click to read this blog post about spiraling your homework! So, here we go. Let’s talk about setting up homework folders for primary students!
All students will get a homework folder. Homework folders should be the plastic material, which is a little more expensive, but if students are using them throughout the year, these hold up best.
(Affiliate Link: Amazon Folders )I suggest going with the plastic covered ones. They tend to stick around and stay in one piece the longest. I also suggest the three prongs on the inside, so that you can hole punch the homework and attach it to the middle. If you don’t have the three prongs, no worries. You can just slide the homework behind your assignment sheet.

Start with a three-prong folder. Plastic will work best because it’ll keep a little better than the paper folders.
On the left side of the folder, place the assignment list for the entire week.
On the right side of the folder, place the book the child is reading for the week. They have 15 minutes of nightly reading assigned to them, so that’ll be the easiest way to keep up with the book. The picture on the right shows me pointing to the area that parents sign to keep the children accountable for their reading.
Take the Math, Reading, Writing, and Language/Foundations and place them into the three prongs. Front/back is suggested to save paper!
This is a glimpse at one week of second grade with the assignment sheet (which is on the left of your folder), plus the four sheets of work (which either goes into the prongs or into the right side).

Take home folders: part 1.
I really love how you set up your folders! Thanks for the great ideas. Where did you get those amazing green folders??
Paige- Office Depot!
How do you get your labels to stay on? I've tried them on poly folders and they seem to fall off.
Courtney- I've found the smooth plastic folders work the best! The ones that have a lot of texture stick, but the ends can peel up. Also, make sure you buy the GOOD labels! :) Hope that helps!
Is this ediatable enough to change to spanish? It's so unfortunate there aren't any spanish resources and I don't have time to create any...... :(
I have something very similar, however, this hits it right out the park! "GO" Ms. Liz!
Love this idea!! I will hopefully start teaching in September. I have already put this in my TPT cart to buy once I'm hired. Thank you!
I did the same for my 1st graders one year, but mine said, "to be LEFT at home," "to be sent RIGHT back." They were placed on the LEFT and RIGHT sides of the folder.

I made this for my daughter to use during school hours. I used glue to adhere it to the file folder, I wouldn’t suggest that because it made the ink smear slightly. I think tape would have been a lot better.

- Print out the pdf.
- Laminate the pages or put into the notebooks.
- Glue or tape onto a file folder or hole punch and put into a notebook.
The page order doesn’t matter that much. You can place them in any order you want.

I am trying to find some introducing numbers pages. The one I have an example of from your website is for “The Number Nine”. It has Kindergarten Math on the top of the page. It has practice writing the number, then draw nine squares, then trace the word, then count the pigs and color, then trace 1-9. I love it for introducing and practicing one number at a time.
I LOVE your website! I have looked in several of the links for kindergarten, but cannot find this particular set of worksheets. Any help, please?
Hi! Thank you! 🙂 I think the ones you are looking for are part of the daily math set

Sight Word Folders
I’m not a fan of homework. I think I’ve mentioned that a time or two in this space! 🙂 But I do like giving parents tools to feel like they are helping their child learn in school. Sight word folders are just that: an option for parents to use to work on at home. Here’s a look at how I use them in my classroom.
What Are Sight Word Folders?
Sight word folders are just like they sound: manilla folders with sight word lists inside. Each student get his/her own folder. I staple the first 100 list on the inside.
And I staple the parent note (in English or Spanish) on the outside. The parent note explains what the folder is and how to use it at home. It also has a place for parents to sign when their child knows the entire list of sight words.
What’s the Routine for Sight Word Folders?
All first graders take home sight word folders within the first few days of school. Parents are told that it is a work at your own pace way to help their students read. I have several suggestions that I send home in my newsletter on working on sight words. You can read about those here or share this link with your parents.
When parents feel like their child knows all of the sight words for the first 100 list, they sign next to the 1 on the parent note cover and return the folder to school.
Then, a parent volunteer or I test the child within the next 1-3 days. We highlight the words the student reads correctly and leave the missed words unhighlighted. (I do tend to test the kids from left to right or backwards to make sure they haven’t memorized the order!)
My personal rule is that if they miss 4 or fewer, they can move to the next list. I staple the 200 list on top of the first 100 list and then write in the words they missed on the 200 list for them to continue working on.
I also initial the front cover so parents know their child has been assessed.
If they miss more than 4 words, I send the folder home with a note to keep working!
I continue this same pattern until students know all 500 sight words! I keep track of our sight words and when students pass 500 words, they get a popsicle to eat at recess that day!
Where Can I Find These Sight Word Folders?
The parent notes and student lists are in this sight word list bundl e . This bundle also has an activity to do with each list and flash cards to use at school at a sight word station.

Take Home Folder
Your child will bring home a Take Home Folder each night. In this
folder, you will find:
1. Homework sheet for the week.
2. Conduct Report for the 9 weeks.
3. Notes sent home from either the office or me, if necessary.
4. Any homework pages that are assigned.
5. Graded papers once a week.
Homework teaches responsibility and practices much needed skills; therefore, it is considered to be an important part of your child’s learning. Your child’s homework for the week will be sent home on the first school day of the week and will not be due until Friday morning. It is the students’ choice as to when and how he/she decides to complete it. The Homework Sheet will clearly outline your child’s homework for you to see and it will always be explained in class. Please sign the Homework Sheet each night, only if your child completed all of the homework. Please do not sign if your child did not complete all of the homework. Incomplete or not returned homework will result in a loss of recess.
***Please do not allow anyone else to do your child’s homework. If you have any questions please contact me.
