What's your binder? Moose, Bee, etc.

♥theColts · **What's your binder? Moose, Bee, etc.** 07-31-2008, 07:28 AM

Hi everyone. I thought it would be neat to hear what everyone uses as their "moose" binder. I know there are a lot of them on that website - but what's actually being used?

Last year I did monkey - (my organized notebook keeps everything yearlong)

This year I have redone my room - so it's a CAMP binder (Communicating and Managing Paperwork)

4teach · **Bee Book** 07-31-2008, 07:30 AM

My room is decorated with bees so I use the Bee book, Bring Everything Everyday.

Shemesh · 07-31-2008, 07:34 AM

My theme is Time Travel so we have a TRAVEL Binder.
TRAVEL- Teaching Responsibility And Values (for) Everyday Learning

I also do a BEE book that stand for Bring Everything Everyday.

These are from the site with all of the moose acronyms: www.smithsroom.com/MOOSE_Acronyms.htm

LION = Let's Include Organization Now

LION = Let's Instill Organization Now

LION = Let's Involve Organization Now

If you don't like these, post again! Maybe someone else will have different ideas.

This is also my first year using the binder and because all my students are very aware of my favorite color (plus our school mascot did not really have a good acronym that I liked) I chose G.R.E.E.N.:

This is my first year using the binders. I have a space theme and my students are Space Cadets. My binder is a ROCKET binder:

The original had "Children", and I changed it to "Cadet".
It's fun to see how many different types there are!

I think Space Cadets is so cute!

Fizzle · **The Tortoise and the Hare** 08-05-2008, 07:33 PM

I read the story, "The Tortoise and the Hare" at the beginning of the year. I emphasize that students who get their work done first or faster than everyone else does not necessarily mean that they are smarter; and sometimes they make mistakes because they are careless. I ask the children to be more like the tortoise. Take time to complete work so it is neat and ensure they are happy with their answers.

Therefore, I am thinking of calling my binders...the Take-home Tortoise.
I'm debating between....

goldenbeads · **If you need help deciding . . .** 08-05-2008, 08:08 PM

My vote is for the first.

Responsibility is mentioned and grammatically, it reads better.

NIUTeach · **Bilingual 2nd Grade** 08-05-2008, 10:21 PM

I have a beach theme, so it's:

Organización
Lleva a
Aprender

(Organization leads to learning) -- OLA means "wave" in Spanish.

Last year I had a sports theme and it was:

Estudiantes
Que
Usan
Inteligencia
Para
Organización

(Students who use intelligence to be organized) -- EQUIPO means "team" in Spanish.

I am the only one in my school who has these -- I was asked to talk about them at a staff meeting... I think its cool...I would have never known about them if it wasn't for PT though!

I also have a FISH theme- Family Involvement Starts Here

QUESTION- Since this post is all about acronyms, does anyone have a cute acronym for an area for students to fill out a self-reflection/responsibility/behavior chart to go with a FISH/OCEAN theme??

I do have the STAR sheet (Stop Think and Act Resposible) from a previous PT post, but I was REALLY hoping to get a fish type acronym!

THANKS

PinkRose · **70's theme** 08-07-2008, 11:39 PM

I am doing a 70's theme this year. Any ideas for a binder theme? Last year I did a secret CODE binder, for my clubhouse theme. Communication, Organization, Discipline, and Expectations

Lesley · **3rd grade** 08-08-2008, 10:50 AM

I am having trouble with this also. I want to use it every year and not have to have it follow my theme and change it. My colr is RED, school mascot is PANTHER and my last name is RIDDICK. I would really like to use my last name so when we move again in two years, (miltary - retirement) I can keep uing the same. Help please!

Love your ideas!
