Professional Development Day for Staff
October is Fire Safety Month. We are excited to be partnering with the Bloomfield/Genoa City Fire & Rescue Team on educating our students at all grade levels about fire safety.
We are excited to welcome our firefighters to BES on Oct. 13th and BMS on Oct. 14th! This year's slogan from NFPA is "Fire won't wait, plan your escape." Students in all grade levels will enjoy a special presentation about the ins and outs of fire safety and also have the opportunity to check out an ambulance, fire engine and various safety gear. HUGE thanks to the Bloomfield Genoa City Fire and Rescue for partnering with us to keep our students and families safe!
The 4K students continued learning about apples. They tried to build apple towers and used apple scented play dough as "glue". Students enjoyed listening to many apples stories and also got to make their own apple counting book. They strengthened their finger muscles and cores by rolling apple play dough into apples, ripped paper and glued it on to an apple picture, Q-Tip painted apple pictures, and helped make applesauce by tearing the apple slices into pieces. Students discussed the parts of an apple and then used two different kinds of food mills to separate out the skins and seeds from the applesauce. The 4K students explored if an apple would sink or float in the sensory table and enjoyed washing the apples that the Jumes family donated to our classroom. They also researched how apples get from the orchard to the store and how applesauce and apple juice are made. After a lot of research, students enjoyed apple juice and applesauce for snack! 4K had an "APPLE" solutly awesome two weeks exploring apples!
