In guidance class at BES, students in kindergarten learned about the importance of being helpers and 1st grade loved learning about the golden rule. They were so intrigued when they learned that the golden rule is known all around the world. They are also working on a golden rule activity related to the book, Do Unto Otters that they read. 2nd grade and 3rd grade learned about the importance of having a growth mindset - how to grow their brain (by trying hard things, by not giving up, by practicing...) and that mistakes and failures are part of being successful. Students also did a movement activity that helped them see that even when they make mistakes, if they keep trying, they can be successful. 3rd grade students also enjoyed learning about famous people who failed many times before becoming successful - ask your 3rd grader about Michael Jordan or Dr. Seuss!

Last week, the middle school's health class learned about the health benefits of potatoes. The class was able to go outside and harvest potatoes that last year’s winter sowing class planted in a pot. They learned about an amazing Swedish technique that can be done on anyone’s patio.
The 4K AM and PM students have spent the past week exploring apples. They exercised their finger muscles by poking toothpicks into apples, writing/ drawing in applesauce and putting pom-pom apples on the apple tree with tweezers. They listened to/ read lots of apple stories. They sang apple themed songs to help practice their classmate's names and counting. They had an apple stand in their dramatic play area which sold pretend apple pies, donuts, cider, and juice. In their sensory table, students practiced scooping and transferring with dry oatmeal, foam apples, pie plates, and spoons. They also practiced using their sense of taste and tried different colored apples. Then, 4K students used a graph to see which color was their class favorite. If you think that is awesome, wait until you see what they do next week with apples!
