I am glad to be back today. I am feeling so much better! This morning a butterfly emerged from the chrysalis. It was so exciting. During language arts, we read about Lou Gehrig. In the afternoon, we learned all about the life of our new crickets! It was a great day.
Our BLAST Auction class basket theme is “SPORTS”! Please feel free to send in anything that might support this theme. We are getting excited about this special event.
ATTENTION ALL 3RD-8TH GRADE FAMILIES! The 3/4 Team just celebrated our shared love of reading at our Read to Waikiki Party, and together we now give from our hearts in our “SURF’S UP FOR HEALTHY SNACKS” FOOD DRIVE.

A list of items went home with each child last week and can also be found on the BCS website: www.bcsonline.info (click on Parent Resources tab and scroll down to BCS and Beyond).
