B.E.E. Binder
“Bring Everything Everyday”

The B.E.E. Binder is a three-ring notebook that your first grader will use everyday to develop organizational skills and learn responsibility.  First grade is a foundational year, and it is important to teach children how to keep up with homework, tests, and important notes.  This book is a way of maintaining effective communication between home and school.  It aims to eliminate lost notes, newsletters, calendars, and homework as well as keep parents and students informed of important events and academic progress.
