Marvelous Monday!

We had a MARVELOUS day today! Happy Birthday to Ian and Ben! We enjoyed celebrating with Ian's Timbits this morning. :-) Below are some pictures of our "Find Someone Who..." game in math. PLEASE NOTE: your child is bringing home a graded math review sheet - please be sure to ask to see it!

Thank you to those of you who have already sent in all four composition notebooks. Students will need their math graph paper notebook by Wednesday. Also, science notebooks should be decorated by Wednesday. There are not specific directions, just make it your own. If not done already, Writer's Notebooks are due ASAP.

REMINDER: Picture day is tomorrow and we WILL be photographed before PE and swimming. :-) Have a great evening and we are excited to see everyone tomorrow!

Fabulous Friday!

We had a fantastic Friday! We are happy to share that the following items were distributed today: planners, blue Take Home Folders, and two important handouts - an allergy information sheet and an email contact form. Also, for math your child will need a composition notebook with graph paper. We would really appreciate if you are able to send one in. They are available at Office Depot. If you are unable to purchase one please feel free to let us know. We will begin using math notebooks next Wednesday. The other three composition notebooks that you already purchased are being used for science, reading and writing. Have a wonderfulful weekend!

We Can't Wait to See You!

Hello, Students and Families! 

Mrs. Mali and Mrs. Harvath have been very busy getting things ready for the BEST SCHOOL YEAR ever!  We cannot wait to see all of you very soon! 

If you are able to come to BCS on Thursday, August 28th at 11:30-12:00, we'd love to visit with you.  Please bring your supplies and take a few tries opening your locker.  If you have a device that can record video, it is a GREAT idea to record yourself (or your parent) opening your locker so that you get the pattern down!  If you are on vacation or working, DON'T WORRY!  You can do all of this the first day of school and won't miss anything! 

At home, it would be a great idea to practice memorizing the new locker combo (which kids today call a "code").  Lockers are an area where our 4th grade buddies offer invaluable help!  Most importantly, kids, try to start waking up early and going to bed early because we would like you bright-eyed and wide-awake in ten days! Also, starting off the day with a healthy breakfast and having a healthy snack mid-morning will help get your body ready for our daily routine.

On a personal note, both Mrs. Mali and Mrs. Harvath have children going into first grade and we know what it is like to be nervous for a new year (and a new school).  We are trying to get all those supplies and other Back-to-School items so that we are ready to go on September 2nd.  We also know that although the first four day week will be tiring, by Friday, the kids are very comfortable with their new classmates, teachers, and school. 

Both Mrs. Harvath and Mrs. Mali are planning the first two weeks with the primary focus of getting our kids to feel connected to their classroom community, comfortable, and confident about learning.

Enjoy your last few days of summer and we will see you soon!  Get ready for the best school year of your lives!

See you very soon,

Mrs. Mali and Mrs. Harvath
