Homework Binders

B.E.E. Binders

Students have B.E.E. binders, B.E.E. stands for Bring Everything Everyday. These are binders that students take home and bring back to school everyday filled with resources and their homework folder. The idea for B.E.E binders came from one of my amazing co-workers but we worked together to find resources on-line and organize them for the students and they are great resources for students to use in class and at home.

They have a pencil pouch for keeping a pencil in and sight word flash cards

The front has their Weekly Behavior Chart. Weekly Behavior Chart

The first tab has the explanation of the symbols on the behavior chart and log in information for all the wonderful on-line resources we have. Behavior Chart Explanation

The second tab is phonics-filled with phonics charts they may need for sounding out words-an alphabet chart, blends and digraphs chart, other letter combination chart and a long vowel chart.
