Ok, here is what I am thinking. I am going to be using a BEE book. It's an idea shared with me by my daughter's former teacher and one my son used this last school year. It's basically a binder they take home that has a pencil pouch where they can send in money, a folder for homework, and of course three rings to fasten in those agendas! Here is its cover:
Also, here's a great link that describes using the BEE book:
The BEE binder, rules for use and more!
Oh, and I do a classroom blog for my parents. This would also be a great link so that they are aware of what the rules and expectations are for the binder.
Here is another great link about the binder:
Inside the BEE binder
I will use these by giving each student a number, clearly printed on their BEE binder and then associated with a mailbox spot. It will be an easy way for me to stay organized (cross your fingers) by handing out homework directly to their spot in the mailbox and later popping the papers right into the organizer. The children will be able to get their binder when they get their backpacks off their hooks. The procedure of dismissal time will be thoroughly organized and well practiced. No more crazy goodbyes!
So, share your ideas below! What are your thoughts?
