BMS is "Game On" the students are working extremely hard in all of their classes. We know that the end of the year can be very stressful, but just today I have seen students showing true grit as they persevere through difficult tasks in their Language Art's classes, sixth graders were citing sources and using text material to support their claims. Eighth graders were working on high school level work in math class and intentionally activating their schema to work through problems with which they were unfamiliar. Seventh grade students are thinking deeply about real world events and how they link to literary elements and how stories are told and written. In math class seventh grade students are learning probability through the roll of the dice, and it's not as easy as they first thought!
Many of our 8th grade students will be on the Washington D.C. trip next week and I know you will miss them, however they are going to have a fantastic time and have so many wonderful learning opportunities. If you have any questions please contact Ms. April Watkins, the trip organizer and all around fantastic team leader! april.watkins3@bullitt.kyschools.usThere are many activities coming up in April and May, please BE SURE TO READ GRADE LEVEL NEWSLETTERS so that you remain informed and up to date on the "goings-on" of your student's team.
Next week will be an important week for the students here at BMS. Spring MAP testing continues these assessments are extremely important to them as they are used to help meet students' needs. Please help us by making sure they are at school and reinforcing that they should do their best on EVERYTHING they do!
This year we have been encouraging students to BE BOLD in Kindness, Courage and Excellent Work Ethic. Please help us continue to instill this in BMS students as we are looking forward to watching them grow in all areas!
I will not be sending a BMS News Byte next week as I will be on the road back from DC. So I want to give you my best wishes for spring break now. Please take some much needed time with your families over Spring Break. Go hiking, read a book, collect rocks, skip rocks, sing songs or just do something fun with the kids over the break. I know I say this at every break, but knowing how busy these 'tween' years are it is always good to be reminded to stop and enjoy them because they will be grown up before you know it!! Spring Break is from April 3-April 7th.
