absent students & make-up work
By JR

When I taught 2nd grade I had made absence folders and had them laminated. When a student was absent then I put that folder on their desk and their neighbor was responsible to put the papers in them that we did that day.
If the child was absent more than one day when they returned I then stapled the papers together that had to be done for a grade. Any little fun things that we did they did them at home after they completed the stapled papers. As far as test was concerned if it was spelling they didn't make it up. Any other test math,English, etc. was in a colored absence folder on my desk with their

name on it when they finished the stapled work then I would give them 1 test a day which they would take in another teacher's room. Our district says that work must be returned 2 days after being absent but if a child was absent on Mon./Tue. and returned on Wed. I let them return the stapled work the next Monday; which gave them a little longer time than 2 days. I hope this helps.
