Yesterday I put together all the BEE Binders for our class. The BEE Binders will go home every day and need to be signed by a parent or guardian. This will help hold your student accountable for their BEE Binder and you will know how your student did in school that day.
This is the cover of the BEE Binder! (I made it myself and am quite proud of it!) Your child's name will be on the line.
Next is a calendar. This calendar is used to show you what color your student ended the day on. They will color the square around the date what color they ended on. There is a key showing you what that color means. If you student has to move down, I will write why they moved down. I want the your student to be able to tell you what they did to get on the color they did. Having you initial each date will let your student know that we are in communication and you know how they behave in school This is usually a very good incentive to only move up!
The next paper you will see is the lunch menu. I will put the new one in there every month. This way you will know what is for lunch in case you would like to send a lunch with your student instead.
Next is your parent signature for the homework. Just sign it each day so I know your student did their homework. Remember, it is only Monday through Thursday. The BEE Binder will come home on Fridays, but only for the behavior communication.
Following the paper for you signature is the homework paper for you student. This month it is only handwriting and for you to read them a story. As we go along, it will be more difficult. We really want them to practice writing their name and making sure it is their FULL name and not a nickname. I am not concerned with last times at this time-that will come later. Please make sure to help them write it using proper formation (I will be adding a paper about this tomorrow) and using the lines. If you have any questions about homework please don't hesitate to ask.
This is a two pocket divider. The first pocket will be homework. The other side will be papers for you to keep at home or to sign and put in the pencil pouch. Please make sure to empty it every night so we don't cram the folder full.
The last section of the BEE Binder is the P.S.S. Communication Log! I will add notebook paper behind the cover. This will be a place for you to write me a note or questions. It is just a way to communicate when I might not be able to see you at dismissal. I will also write notes to you if there is something I want you to be aware of! I love positive attention and look for ways to praise positive behavior. One of those ways is to let you know how well your student did during a lesson or with an assignment. Be sure to check it often!
There will be a paper in the back of the folder which will also explain what everything is. This will help if you have a question and cannot get a hold of me immediately. I will be making that later today and putting it in tomorrow.
The BEE Binder is place that we will keep everything. Make sure to empty it and take good care of it. If you student happens to lose it you may replace the binder, pencil pouch and 2 pocket folder and I will supply all the papers or we can use a paper folder. That will be up to you.
Make sure your student has it every day. Starting in September if they do not have it then they will automatically flip their clip to a warning. I am a believer in making them responsible for their items and start teaching that the first day of school.
Some changes that will be happening starting tomorrow:
1-Your fast pass is expired. You will need to give your ID to the office staff in order to enter campus.
2-We are starting to pick up outside in the grass area to the right of the blue gate (by the preschool playground).
3-I am starting the Baseball Behavior Plan that was outline in the Welcome Letter (if your student on or after the first day of school and you did not get one-please let me know! I have lot of copies and want you to know how our classroom is run). I will start implementing the positive incentives and punishments.
4. Your child NEEDS their ID every day. Starting in September if they do not have it, they will not be able to play at recess. This is, once again, a way to help them be responsible. If they lose it, you will need to replace it. You can order a new one in the office. It is $5 for the ID, lanyard, and plastic cover.
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
Mrs. Leopold
