Our 5 Bee Promise

In the last 2 weeks of school we have been slowly adding to our 5 Bee Promise.  Our 5 Bee Promise sets the expectation for how we plan to work together and support each other throughout our school day.  Here are the 5 Bees:

1. "Bee" a good listener
2. "Bee" a hard worker
4. "Bee" responsible
5. "Bee"lieve in your yourself
6. "Bee" kind

During our read alouds and discussions about our 5 Bees, the students had so many great examples for each one.  They were able to relate their experiences from not only in school, but also at home and in our community.

Once our fifth bee promise was added, the students received their bee punch ticket.  At the end of each day, I recognize 1 student with a specific example of following our 5 Bees.  The class does a silent cheer for that student and he or she gets a punch in the bee ticket. Every student who returns completed homework on Friday also receives a bee punch for "Bee"ing responsible.  There are a total of 8 punches on the card.  Once a students receives all 8 punches, he or she has the opportunity to choose something special from our Best "Bee"havior Catalog.  Some of the special choices include eating lunch in the classroom with a friend, sitting in a special chair for the day, bumper seats, and many more!

Our promise promotes a classroom community of students that work hard, try their best, and care for others!
