Teacher Appreciation

WOW!  How amazing it was to walk into a room full of beautiful fragrant flowers in our Library!  Teacher Appreciation week takes on an entirely new meaning when you have kiddos of your own...here's a SHOUT OUT to all the teachers this week who spend tireless hours helping our children succeed!  THANK YOU for what you do!  And THANK YOU to all the students who brought little treats and flowers this week!  We feel loved!

Library this week was full of inquiry and STEAM!  First graders listened to NOT A BOX by Antoinette Portis and created their own two dimensional (some three) box!  Creativity flowed as the students connected Reading to Art and continued the STEAM theme.

Third and Fourth graders dug deep to determine whether or not "Mighty Jackie" was fact or fiction.  Students were introduced to the amazing KCLS website where as BSD students they have access to thousands of ebooks, videos and databases.  Due to technical difficulties today (Flexibility was the virtue demonstrated here), we created one of a kind baseball cards of Jackie Mitchell.  Each card was full of "stats", her position and even who she played for.  Illustrations of the baseball cards were a hit!

Six weeks + 1 day and counting...it's crazy and wild to think we are already in the month of May!  Wishing a happy Teacher Appreciation week and Happy Mother's day to all you mama's out there!
