We had a fantastic Friday! We spent the afternoon researching volcanoes, earthquakes and landslides. We are getting really good at finding great information online and in books while working cooperatively with our research buddy. As we find information, we are keeping notes on our wiki.
Monday is Halloween and we are so excited! It is always a fun day at BCS!!!! The kids will be allowed to change into their costumes at 1:20/1:30pm. The parade starts at 1:45pm. Following the parade, we will have our party with Mrs. Frishman's class in the science lab. Thank you parents for planning this party for us.
Please join us for our Halloween Parade beginning around at 1:45. The party begins afterwards and will be held in room 104 (3/4 science lab).
Fall conferences will be held on November 16th and 17th. The sign-up will be posted on Thursday, October 27th. If you would like for me to sign you up for a conference, please send me an email with the approximate time and day that works best for you. I understand that may be hard to get into the building for this. I am happy to help!
