Managing Materials

In my second grade placement my teacher had at least five absent folders. When she took roll she would place a folder on students desk that were absent. Students were taught from the beginning of the school year that if your neighbor was absent it was your responsibility to make sure that all work sheets and homework that was passed back was placed in the folder. This made it very easy to keep absent students homework organized. If parents came in after school to pick up homework it was all right there in the folder ready to go.
