Thank you for sharing your child with me!
B.E.E. Book 
• Bring Everything Everyday! 
• The B.E.E. book is a tool that I am asking Room 18 families and students to use 
everyday. I believe that the primary grades (K-2) are foundational years for 
developing ‘school organizational’ skills. 
• My goal is that your child be responsible for taking his/her B.E.E. book out of their 
backpack, review the items with you, and return the B.E.E. book to their backpack on 
their backpack on a daily basis 
• Lunch Money, pin numbers and notes to me should be placed in the pouch
Snack and Lunch 
• We do have children with peanut, tree nut, and sesame seed allergies in the 
class; please be sensitive to this when planning your child’s snack 
• Please send your child’s snack/drink in a separate bag from your child’s 
lunch. We keep our snack and lunch in different places in the classroom and 
this helps to streamline the snack process. 
• In addition, please do not send any loose food in for snack. Make sure to use a 
brown bag or zip lock baggie labeled with your child’s name.

  • 37. B.E.E. Book • Bring Everything Everyday! • The B.E.E. book is a tool that I am asking Room 18 families and students to use everyday. I believe that the primary grades (K-2) are foundational years for developing ‘school organizational’ skills. • My goal is that your child be responsible for taking his/her B.E.E. book out of their backpack, review the items with you, and return the B.E.E. book to their backpack on their backpack on a daily basis • Lunch Money, pin numbers and notes to me should be placed in the pouch
  • 38. Snack and Lunch • We do have children with peanut, tree nut, and sesame seed allergies in the class; please be sensitive to this when planning your child’s snack • Please send your child’s snack/drink in a separate bag from your child’s lunch. We keep our snack and lunch in different places in the classroom and this helps to streamline the snack process. • In addition, please do not send any loose food in for snack. Make sure to use a brown bag or zip lock baggie labeled with your child’s name.
