BEE BOOKS

 

What is a BEE Book?
 
A BEE Book is a special binder that is given to every student in my class on the first day of school.  This binder provides a way for parents and teachers to communicate easily about school, and helps to build organization skills and responsibility in students.  It helps them to Bring Everything Every day!

What is kept in it?

 

Homework

&

Return to School

 

The left pocket of the binder holds homework, papers to sign and return, book order envelopes, lunch account envelopes, fundraisers, permission slips, notes to the school nurse, or anything that needs to be turned in at school.

Assignment Book

Every year, our PTO provides an assignment book for each student.  This will be kept in the ring portion of the BEE Book.  Students are required to fill in their daily homework, and any notes or reminders the teacher has written for them to copy.  There is also a designated space on each page for parents and teachers to make notes to each other.  Assignment books are checked daily!

Code of Conduct

&

Feedback Calendar

The next thing in the binder is a sheet protector that holds our classroom rules and a feedback calendar.  Parents are asked to sign these calendars at the end of each week.  A new feedback calendar will be placed here each month.

Lunch Menu

&

Word Wall

The next sheet protector will have our monthly lunch menu and a copy of the current word wall for students to use when completing homework.  Word Wall words must be spelled with 100% accuracy on all assignments – including homework!


Graded Work

&

Keep at Home

 

The back pocket will contain graded work that can be kept at home, notices from the office or the PTO, and other things that do not need to be returned.  This pocket MUST be emptied every night.
