- Weekly Focus Page
- Labels for Folders

Many of the forms can be edited to fit your needs. *Please make sure you have PowerPoint and are able to edit in PowerPoint.
I am so so excited about this! I've been looking for some way to make "Jungle" or "Safari" into a take home folder and this fit great! I wish we had the option to use the font you used on the titles in the "body" part of it when editing things for our needs, but that's a small setback for something so wonderful! Thank you!!

Love that you gave us options to add our own information and change rules and such. I would like to be able to move the clip art as well. Sometimes I couldn't get my text to fit because of a picture...that I'd want to keep just move slightly!
This is great! Fits in perfectly with my theme and is a great way to communicate with parents!

I've seen other teachers use the STAR notebook. This goes with my theme and looks very easy to implement! I can't wait to use it, what a great communication tool for students, parents, and teachers.
So nice to have a jungle theme communication folder.

I used a FROG binder last year and am excited to use the SAFARI book this year. I HIGHLY recommend using the binders. I loved them and so did my 1st graders and their families. Rarely had a "lost" note or homework. It's a wonderful way to keep families informed & teach students to be organized. I love the forms you have included in the SAFARI book. Thank you so much!

I saw everything except a FROG Communications folder. Did or can you make one? I may have over looked it.
The STAR communication binder has a Hollywood theme :)

I purchased your safari communication folder file. I am not able to edit all of the pages. For example, I will not have all of supplies you have listed on your "Safari Books" page and some of our sight words are different. Am I able to edit these? Otherwise, I won't be able to use the file. Please help! :)
I have been a teacher for 10 years. I have taught Art, 1st grade and 3rd grade, but my heart is definitely in 1st. I love to create things that I think will make learning more fun for my students.
