Students in Mrs. Napoli's 2nd grade at BCEL are learning about the importance of wondering/questioning before, throughout, and after reading. As they read, students are learning to stop and jot down questions on sticky notes. Students can strengthen comprehension by reviewing questions independently, with partners, and with their whole group. Great job, readers!!! What an amazing strategy!!

BCEL students worked really hard today helping Mrs. Pretzer spruce up our pollinator garden. Students also recorded all the living things they found as they were racking and pulling weeds. The kids did such a great job asking questions about the plants they were taking care of, the living things they found, why we needed to pull weeds, how the mulch was helping, and lots and lots of other questions and rich conversations! I am so proud of the ownership these kids have for our school and our nature spaces! Thank you to Mrs. Pretzer for organizing this day! It is looking beautiful!
Mrs. Williamson, our amazing ASD teacher, and Mrs. Pretzer, our equally fantastic district nature coordinator, worked really hard on a grant to support a peer-to-peer group here at BCEL! They were awarded this grant which allowed them to purchase things to create raised gardens out in our courtyard. During recess yesterday our first peer group got together to enjoy some planting time in the sun! Peers had a great time planting, talking, giggling, and interacting with each other! Thanks for all of your hard work kids! We love these special times together!
