Check your Backpack

Just like Dora's magical backpack, our own childrens' backpacks hold valuable tools that will foster a good school-to-home connections. School work, teacher/therapist notes, and school information is passed to you through your child's backpack. Make a habit of checking your student's back pack every day, and discussing teachers' notes and schoolwork. This is a valuable tool to finding out what your child is doing in school, if they have a worksheet or art project about bugs, odds are they are discussing bugs at school. And remember, this goes both ways, you can always send notes to school through the backpack to keep teachers updated on your child.
