FROG Books are a way to help keep you, your first-grader, and myself organized throughout the school year. It teaches the students organizational skills and responsibility. In addition, the books are part of my family involvement plan, which helps keep you informed of activities and student progress. Each student will also have a Friday Folder, that will hold information sent home from McCormick and the PTO.
