As we wrap up the first 9 weeks, we have a lot to be proud of here at BCMS! We have finished strong in our fall activities and have accomplished big projects in the classroom. Check it out!

6th graders created a scale model of the ancient Roman colosseum and presented information from their research with the project! Prior to doing the project, they received a rubric to keep their work on track!

From Mrs. Hoffman’s Class –

“I was teaching my ELA about interesting and engaging “hooks” for their introductory paragraph in an essay. I brought in my fishing pole, camp chair, and made a “pond” from large blue-colored paper. I tied a magnet to the end of the fishing line (no hook). Students brainstormed hooks for a topic with a partner, and then wrote one of their own on a Reader (paper with a clipart person). They used a glue stick to attach the paper to a small magnet and tossed it onto the “Water”.  I fished out 4 of them and read the hooks aloud, one at a time. Some were great, some needed help to revise, which we did right there. I handed the pole to several others and we followed the same steps. There were lots of claps and cheers, smiles, and motivated kiddos! We even got Mrs. Fowler and Mr. T Miller involved!“

Brain breaks happen from time to time around BCMS – no one can pass up the massive UNO cards!

The high school Lady Eagles’ Basketball team held a camp this past week for students in grades K-8. The BCMS ladies showed up in full, ready to learn about basketball from the high school players and prepare for their coming seasons!

On the last day, athletes competed in challenges to test the different skills they had learned over the previous days. 8th grader Addy Glaze took 1st place while 7th graders Alexis Allison and Averi Bohbrink took 2nd and 3rd!
