BCEL's Leaping Lancer winners for November!!! This was our biggest group yet!!! I'm so proud of all if these Lancers growing by leaps and bounds!!!!


Mrs. Hedlund's kindergarten class has been learning about Day vs Night.
"Today we learned more about the moon phases and why the moon looks different throughout the month. Students used Oreos to make a model of the new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter phases of the moon. They then used their models to draw a diagram in their science journals."

These pictures do not do it justice!!! If you get a chance to drive by BCEL at night our lights will not disappoint! BCEL looks amazing! Thanks to Mr. Schweigert for all the work putting up our beautiful display!!!



We love our new snow!!! Mrs. Lombard's 1st graders made us a new friend!!!!


Kindness week continues! Each morning members of the kindness committee lead the announcements to let us know what our day will focus on. This morning Willow and Harper let us know it was Share a Smile day!! Students got two smiley stickers...one to keep and one to give away! :)


Kindness week started off on a warm and fuzzy note!! Kindness makes us feel warm and fuzzy on the inside just like a cup of hot chocolate!! BCEL students enjoyed a treat today at recess to remind students that being kind feels good! Thank you Kindness Committee and Mrs. Clapp for being so kind to us!!





Balloons over Broadway!!! Mrs. Cassow's Kindergarden designers created balloons and had a parade to celebrate their book study



At BCEL, Mrs. Hedlund's class spent time learning about animals in the fall that make/find shelter before hibernating for the winter.

These crazy crayons are ready for a fun and exciting day at BCEL!! Bring on the Halloween fun!!! Happy Halloween from our crayon box to yours!


BCEL's Leaping Lancer award winners for October!!! We are so proud of these Little Lancers growing leaps and bounds!!!!


Our teachers use short cycle assessments to drive instruction, set goals, and track student growth. We display results and progression in the hallways so that students can physically see their growth and take ownership of their learning! This amazing board was created by BCEL's 2nd grade team! I cant wait to see those stars move as students learn and grow!





BCEL got its annual visit from our spooooky friend Mr. Marrow and his creepy handler Ms. Dani!!! Happy Halloween from BCEL!!




Mrs. Cassow's Kindergarten scientists explored pumpkins today and used the seeds to count on their hundreds chart. It was also really fun so squish the pumpkin guts and feel the slimy seeds in your hands! Great job little scientists!





Thank you to our students, staff, parents, and neighbors for cleaning up our nature areas and school yard this week. Two of our HS students, Nathan Rivard and Kolton Riddle joined us as well.




Thank you Matt Lindauer from CISNA (Cooperative Invasive Species Management) for joining Floyd 2nd grade on their field trip to BCEL. Matt taught us about invasive plant species and guided us in beginning the removal of some.





Floyd 2nd grade had an amazing day visiting BCEL and conducting investigations in the meadow and pollinator garden.





Mrs. Wood’s class is investigating trees and what they need to survive and grow.
