checking student work
By Glenda

Kelly,

The amount of paperwork our children do in one day really adds up. In my class each student has a "work folder". These folders stay in a basket in the room. The girls have their folders in one basket and the boys
have their folders in another basket. When the student has completed his/her work the work goes in the folder. I usually grade their math workbook pages as they finish. Other pages like independent work goes in ungraded.
I take the folders home each night and grade the ones I want or on some nights all of them. I staple all of the papers in each child's folder for that day together

and transfer them to their Friday folder. The Friday folders go home with their work each Friday.

By having the students put their work in a folder, I can pull the folders very quickly and check to see who has not turned in their work, or who turned it in incomplete. I try to check their folders before free time so they can "catch up" before they play.
