Congratulations to Jace Bence, Stevie Davis, Kinley Gruber and Sophia Thurston for being selected to sing in the Elementary All State Choir in Peoria! Students from all over the state will perform on the last day of the state music education conference in January.
Students in Gr. 3, 4, 5 have been working on expanding their writing skills through use of figurative language. The figurative language examples are: simile, metaphor, idiom, personification, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, & alliteration. Way to go for making writing fun to read!
On December 7th, BV Walnut 4th grade kicked off their annual 12 Days of Kindness leading up to break! So far we have delivered candy cane grams and read to the Little Blessings preschool students. Keep an eye out for more kindness activities as we move through December!
Students in Mrs. Krug's 3rd grade class were given the opportunity to learn about the Art of Yoga and try out some poses. BV's very own Ms. McCauley is a licensed instructor and gave us a great Yoga class! Everyone enjoyed this relaxing time!
BIG THANKS for making a little magic happen!!
Thank you Mr. Stabler for reading to our class today! 🎄

🚨 Important Safety Update for Parents 🚨
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to inform you of an incident that occurred today at our Manlius Campus. As a precautionary measure, all students and staff were safely evacuated due to unusually high readings of carbon dioxide detected in our building. The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priorities.
Emergency services were immediately contacted, and professionals are currently assessing the situation. We are working closely with them to ensure that the building is safe before anyone re-enters.
Please be assured that all students are safe accounted for and dismissed normally. Brainstorm students have been relocated to the Central Office where they will continue normal programming.
We will provide further updates as soon as more information is available. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in ensuring the safety of our school community.

We've been investigating pumpkins in the month of October. We measured the circumference of the pumpkin, counted its vertical lines, weighed it and discussed different types of scales and then, we finally got to carve it. We voted on what type of face to carve and a glad face won. We did get creative with our shapes and used a circle, square and a triangle for the eyes and nose. Some of the kids loved touching the pulp while others were not so excited about the sliminess. We all enjoyed the jack-o-lantern 🎃 though when it was done.
Our Beginning band members took advantage of extra time to practice during recess. They are determined to grow! So proud of their determination and progress!
This week the speech students have been practicing their goals while making turkeys.
It is National STEM Day today. To celebrate this in McCauley's science class, third graders are working on building a bridge. They are allowed to only use glue and Q-Tips.
