B.R.O.N.C.O Daily Binders

At the beginning of the school year I make each student their own daily binder, also known as their B.R.O.N.C.O Binder. B.R.O.N.C.O is an acronym for: Bright students who are Ready to learn, Organized, Neat, Capable, and Optimistic. This binder is used as a communication devise between home and school. This binder is brought home every night and is returned to school the very next day. It houses important information such as school notes, homework, graded work, etc. Each child's behavior for the day is also noted in their B.R.O.N.C.O Binder. The parents make it a habit to look through and check their child's binder each night. The parents also sign or initial each night on the appropriate date on the calendar. This helps me see that the parents saw their child's binder that night. This daily binder is so beneficial to have because any assigned homework, notes, money, etc. gets placed in the B.R.O.N.C.O Binder so I or the parents will receive it - because we all know how sometimes things get lost in a child’s backpack.  J

Here is a peek into my B.R.O.N.C.O Binders! 

 

This shows the behavior calendar that I use.  Each day the students mark green, yellow, or red on the date on the calendar to show their parents what kind of day they had!

 

I put a pencil pouch in my binders for those small notes, money items, etc. that could easily fall out.

 

Each binder has the student's class number on the spine.  The students place their binder on the shelf every morning in number order.  This allows me to easily see who has turned in their binder or who might be absent.
