Important Info about Halloween:

5/6 HALLOWEEN PIÑATA INFO:
We will be making our own Halloween-themed piñatas out of recycled materials--no buying one in a store! Look at things you would normally throw out at home like boxes, newspapers, packing materials, bags, etc. Be creative! Think about how you can reuse your found trash items to make a “recycled”piñata for theHalloween party!You may fill your piñata with whatever PEANUT-FREE, individually-wrapped goodies you would like! Piñatas can have a pull-string to open or just traditional paper mache all over to be “broken into” –check with your teacher to see if he/she has a preference. Paper mache can be made using thinned school glue/water or thinned corn starch/water. Make sure to incorporate a secure hanging mechanism (of recycled material). The Halloween piñata is an optional at-home project for all 5/6 students. Bring finished piñatasto school the week of October 24-28. We will elect the winning piñatas within our 5/6 teams before we have the fun of breaking them open at the Halloween party on Monday, October 31.

Important Information Regarding the Geography Bee

Dear Parents and Students,

I am so excited to tell you that BCS is going to hold a Geography Bee this year. Students in grades 4-8 are eligible to participate. We have scheduled the school-wide Bee for Tuesday, January 10th. It will be held during the Choice Hour period. The winner of the school bee will take a written test to qualify for the National Geographic State Bee.

The National Geographic Society runs the National Bee and provides the materials for the school bee.

Mr. Braisted has agreed to teach a Choice Hour class during 2nd Quarter for students in grades 4-8 who wish to learn more about Geography and prepare for the Bee together. However, anyone in grades 4-8 can sign up for the Bee - students do not need to be in the Geography Choice Hour in order to participate in the Bee.

There is also a very fun GeoBee Challenge app available for iPad, iPod touch, and other mobile devices that students can use to quiz themselves. The website National Geographic Bee - National Geographic has a wealth of information and activities for students interested in the bee as well as study materials for students who want to prepare on their own.

Please contact me if you have any questions!
