Happy Birthday to our friend, Connor! We celebrated his 9th birthday today with Mrs. Fields!!!

Today was awesome! I have the best class, and I love coming to school because of the wonderful students I get to work with each day! We started our study of communities today and enjoyed creating a mental map and sketch map of room 204 in the BCS community. Thank you, boys and girls, for being the best community of friends and learners!

Thursday we will have MEAP testing. We will also have it next week on Tuesday and Thursday. Your child does not need to do anything to prepare except get a good night’s rest and eat a good breakfast. We may not have time for a snack so it is important for your child to eat well in the morning!
