Dear Parents,

We missed you at Back to School Night! Here is your child’s B.E.E. (Bring Everything Everyday) book. This folder will be a communication tool between school and home. It should be sent to school every day with your child and emptied every evening. I will put all notes, newsletters, and information on the left side of the folder and all student work on the right side of the folder. The middle section will be used as a spot for us to write short notes back and forth. Whenever you need to send something back to school (money, something for the office, etc.), it should be put in the left hand pocket of the folder.Enclosed in your child’s B.E.E. book are the handouts from Back to School Night. Please read through everything thoroughly and contact me with any questions. Also, please be sure to read the label on the left pocket for further directions. Please be sure to empty the folder and send it to school with your child on Monday/Tuesday.

Brown Bear Scavenger Hunt

An easy one would be to enlarge the characters in the book -brown bear, redbird, yellow duck, etc. and then hide themaround the school. Lead the class on a "bear hunt." Alongthe way you will encounter the animals that you have placed,but no brown bear. As you go through each area, ask thepersonnel if they have seen the brown bear, but of course noone has. "Mrs. Principal, have you seen the brown bear? No,but I do see a redbird. Mrs. Secretary, have you seen thebrown bear? No, but the yellow duck came to use the phone. Mrs. Nurse, have you seen the brown bear? No, but I gavethe green frog a band-aid. etc. Finally when you get to thelast person, there is a WHOLE BOX of brown bears!! (TeddyGrahams!!)
