It was very hot, but we managed to have a “cool” first week of school. We are working to be responsible, respectful, safe and kind at BCES.

On Friday, August 20, I was able to visit our classroom for the first time this summer. As you can see in the picture there were lots of boxes to unpack. (60 of them!) I will post more pictures to show you how our class is coming along. You can get a sneak preview on Thursday, August 26th from 3:30 to 5:30.

On Thursday we went to Hollis Elementary School to see Rick Charette’s Super Power Concert. We were the first school to arrive so we got to help Rick Charette decide which of his Hawaiian shirts to wear for the concert. We sang songs and learned important information for keeping safe and healthy.

After writing our journal page we each typed a word from our writing to make this cool wordle! We had fun finding our words.

Leprechauns

On Wednesday, St. Patrick’s Day, we had a great time making little Leprechaun men and decorating them. We each had 25¢ to spend at the Leprechaun store for decorations. We could purchase stickers for 2¢, wiggly eyes for 10¢ a pair, ribbon for 2¢, yarn for 5¢, pipe cleaners for 5¢, pom poms for 5¢ and feathers for 1¢. We used coins to figure out what we would order. We had to use all our money, no more no less! Check our Children’s Work Page to see more leprechauns!
