Team

We had such a great day today! This morning we worked so hard on Language Arts. At the last minute, the district gave us a language arts assessment to complete so we took care of the first part of that today and will take care of the second part tomorrow. This is not something your child needed to study for. The district uses it for its own purposes.

Chaperones Needed...If you would like to drive on April 23, please contact room parent Suzanne Sarkesian, suzanne@jonsarkesian.com or me at sb07bps@birminhgam.k12.mi.us if you can help from 9:30-11:00 on this day!! Let us know how many students you can fit in your car.


Our class is excited about their upcoming Reading Party with the senior citizens at BASCC, located at the Midvale Center, on Thursday, April 23 from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. We will visit BASCC to read our favorite stories and poems to the members and to share refreshments with them.

So far I have Gardner, Hoppen, Sarkesian, Henninger and maybe Dietz as chaperones. Parent drivers, please come to the BCS office at 9:30 on April 23 to complete the necessary driver information. It is also essential that drivers remain with the students during the field trip to assist with name tags, to help pair one or two students with senior citizens and to serve the refreshments.



The third and fourth graders receive a report card at the end of the year that covers the third and fourth quarters.
