Today we welcomed members of the Google Search and Google Classroom teams to observe in our middle school. They met with teachers and learners as a way to develop empathy and understanding about what middle school education looks like at a school like BCS. Next week they’ll visit a school in Brazil!

5th graders are bridging the grade-level divide with their Kindergarten buddies on two bridge-building projects.

5th graders are crafting cardboard bridges with 2 or more attachment techniques.
Kindergartners are problem solving for Ruby from the children’s book, The Little Blue Bridge, a retelling of The Three Billy Goats Gruff using design thinking to build a Lego bridge to help her cross the creek.

“The best structures don’t just span gaps, they make connections!"
Keri Muller, TK-5 Makerspace Teacher

FLG conferences are Thursday and Friday‼️
Thursday is a ½ day (early dismissal at 12:30).
No school on Friday.

FLG 🟰Focused Learning Goals
Learners set, pursue, and reflect on goals that drive their learning.

“These conferences are one of the things I value most about how we do things at BCS -- building the goals around the student, setting targets for both academic growth and personal growth that actually reflect who they are.”
BCS Executive Director, Maureen Israel

Cos started this week on both campuses.
At BCS, we understand the importance of our learners making choices about what they learn since doing so promotes engagement, growth, and learner agency. The Co-Curricular program at BCS allows each child to do just that, “Through BCS’s standards-based Co-Curriculars, learners in Grades 1–5 get to choose courses in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) 🥼 📱 🧮, Sports & Fitness 🏐 🏃🏻‍♀️, Performing Arts 🎭 Visual Arts 🎨, and Global Citizenship 🌎, building agency as they pursue their passions and discover new interests during the school day,” Chief of Academics & Educational Services, Elika Fredrickson.

Is it hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk? 🍳 Students in Mr. Donati's 6th grade science class are finding out. They're creating solar ovens -- designing, constructing, and testing the devices to maximize thermal energy transfer. “The goal is for students to see that science is not just something they learn about; it’s something they can use to solve problems,” Andrew Donati, 6th grade science teacher.
