8th grade Physical Science students in Mrs. Hoyt's class are learning about describing motion. In this lab, students focused on how motion can change by designing a tube slide using plastic tubes and marbles.
Life Science students are beginning their study of taxonomy, which is the branch of science concerned with the classification of living things. Students grouped leaves into different groups based on their shape, size, number of lobes, and so on.
Picture Retake Day is scheduled for Wednesday, September 24th. If your child was absent on the original picture day or you would like their picture retaken, this will be their opportunity.
Please note:
If your child missed the first picture day, this will serve as their initial photo session.
If you would like your child's picture retaken, please email Laura or Sharon in the office at lreuter@bureauvalley.net or scrownover@bureauvalley.net
Thank you for helping us ensure every student has their school picture taken this year!
If you have any questions, please contact the office.

Ms. Bitting's 3rd graders have been learning about the life cycle of Monarch butterflies. They have watched the miraculous transformation from egg to larvae to chrysalis right in front of their eyes. Now they are patiently waiting for their butterflies to emerge and take flight.
Is it alive? The raisins move up and down in the carbonated soda pop, even though they aren't alive. Life Science students are learning that things must exhibit all six characteristics of life to be considered alive.

Earth Science students are learning about the structure of the Earth and its different spheres. Here, the different layers represent the crust, mantle, and core. Alternatively, they can represent the geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
🎉 That’s a Wrap on the Season! 🥎
Our Junior High Softball team wrapped up an incredible season with a 3rd place finish! 💪 We’re so proud of the hard work, dedication, and heart these girls showed every step of the way.

GO STORM!! 🌩️💙🩵
The 6th and 7th grade Science students are finishing a unit on Methods of Science by conducting their own experiment. They made observations and hypotheses, collected and analyzed data, and reported results.
Fourth grade artists are enjoying the beautiful weather in the courtyard with Mrs. Knapp! They are drawing from observation; looking closely to capture what they see, beginning with larger shapes and then adding details. Wonderful work!
⚾🥎 Double the fun, double the competition! Our softball and baseball teams both take on the JFK Wildcats today. Softball will play them in the SRC semi-finals at Hall High School, while the boys are closing out their season at home! Let’s bring the energy and cheer them on to victory! 💪🔥 Good luck to both teams — we’re proud of you! 🙌
Last week in math, Miss Yepsen's 4th graders got up and moving with a Place Value SCOOT. Students practiced identifying the value of digits, writing numbers in expanded and word form, and comparing numbers at different stations throughout the room.
Mrs. Bell's 4th grade is exploring how eyes work. The students created eye models and saw what the picture looks like on the retina of the eye. They also used glasses to see how it sharpens the picture.
Ms. Haley's 7th grade SEL class focused on problems and problem solving. The students had to try to complete a 100 piece puzzle while working together silently.
Students in Ms. Crabtree's class were detectives in trying to solve this week's Mystery Science Question: What happens to fallen leaves?
Mrs. Hoyt's 7th grade Life Science students are learning about the characteristics of life. In this lab, the students were testing their reflexes to see if they reacted when a cotton ball was thrown at their face with and without warning. (We used a plastic transparent sheet protector so that students weren't actually throwing objects into each other's faces.)
7th graders have been working with integers in math! Some practiced their skills today while playing battleship. Want to challenge your child at home? Mrs. Hartz has extra copies!
We are excited to share that our school will be participating in a Day of Giving this October. Each year, we encourage our students to come together to support an important cause, and this year we will focus on bringing awareness to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Bureau Valley's own Grady Gustafson has designed a pink breast cancer awareness shirt that families will be able to purchase, with all profits donated to breast cancer research. In addition the Bureau Valley High School volleyball team will host their pink night on October 13 with the freshman game at 5:00 pm in Manlius against Wethersfield.
Thank you for encouraging your child to participate as we learn the value of giving, kindness, and community spirit. Order forms are attached below and will be sent home in your child's book bag today. The forms are due on Monday, September 8th to the office. Together, we can make a difference!
