Rocket Design Challenges Take Flight
|
|
|
|
The sky was the limit for Mrs. McKinney’s 8th grade Algebra 1 class during their latest design challenge. Students recently completed a rocket project that put the 4 c's of 21st century learning ~ creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication ~ to the test! The design challenge required students to apply the vertex formula to find the height of the flight path of their water bottle rockets. When asked about this project, one student commented, “We learned a lot about the quadratic formula and working together as a team."

Little Grunt and the Big Egg
|
|
|
|
Third grade students in Miss Wooding’s class recently performed a Reader’s Theater performance of
Little Grunt and the Big Egg
by Tomie dePaola. Reader's Theater is a form of dramatic interpretation where students convey mood, tone, and emotion through the use of their voices, facial expressions, and gestures. To add a little extra fun to their performance, students tapped into their creative side by making masks to express the character traits of their respective roles. Great job 3rd graders!

Each month the
Transportation Department
shines a spotlight on one of our many amazing bus drivers. This month the spotlight shines on Mr. Charles McGiffin, Bus #21. Mr. McGiffin started driving for the BCLSD back in 1999. He thought it would be a good way to meet new people and make new friends. In his spare time, Mr. McGiffin loves to work in his vegetable garden and ride bikes. We would like to thank Mr. McGiffin for his years of service to the BCLSD.
