Bullock Creek School District

Floyd first graders are learning about plant parts and what plants need to grow. After drawing a picture of a plant with all of its parts, Mrs. Stevens' students planted bean seeds so they can observe the process of a seed turning into a sprout and then a plant.

We loved welcoming some members of Leadership Midland's Class of '25 to Floyd Elementary. They toured Floyd's nature areas and learned about our district -wide nature program. Best of luck Leadership Midland's Class of 25!

Ms. Terrill and Mrs. Methner's classes have been learning about their senses in nature. They have also been enjoying time to play and explore.

Ms. Pretzer and Mrs. McGuire's classes enjoyed listening to books in nature today.

While exploring informational text structures in Bookworms, students in Mrs. Bradley's 5th grade class engaged with a variety of mentor texts—thanks to a generous grant aimed at increasing access to diverse literature in classrooms.

🎉 Happy Birthday to our beloved nature para extraordinaire, Mr. Schweigert! 🌿🦝

Our staff had the BEST time celebrating him today by dressing up as “Mr. Schweigert” himself — complete with beards, raccoon shirts, bandaid bags, and plenty of random trinkets passed out along the way.

We are so lucky to have you bringing your energy, humor, and heart to BCEL every day. 💚

We love you, Mr. Schweigert — happiest of birthdays to YOU! 🎂🎈

Students in Mr. Rutterbush's PE class are learning about the game of volleyball. After practicing how to pass, set and hit, students were given the opportunity to put them to good use.

Miss Hannah’s class kicked off their reading journey with Owen Foote, Money Man — their first book in the Bookworms program. The students had so much fun exploring the story, and one of the best parts was getting to work with Brett for the first time this year. What a great way to start their year of reading together!

Woohoo! Way to go, Floyd Cross Country runners! Today was a great start to the season!

Mrs. Methner's Young 5's students painted with a variety of mud samples today. What a creative group of students!

A huge thank you to Mrs. Dopp's and Mrs. Napoli's classes for working in our pollinator garden at BCEL.

Pine River students and even the turkeys are having a great time exploring the new playground equipment. It has quickly become a favorite spot for everyone.

One of Floyd's most special days has become the close of KinderCamp and our Reveal Day. This is when all students and staff line the halls while our 5th graders have the honor of escorting our kindergartners to their new classroom family. 🖤💛

It quickly became clear who the coolest person in the room was today. Thank you, Mr. Andrew! Floyd students and staff appreciate you!

📚✨ Exciting things are happening at BCEL! Our teachers are making incredible progress as they begin implementing Bookworms in their classrooms. Students are quickly learning the routines and procedures that make their ELA blocks so purposeful and engaging. It’s inspiring to see the hard work of our teachers and the growth of our students as we build strong readers together! 💛🖤

Brett's first day brought a lot of smiles to students' faces.

Floyd Elementary would like to thank our community partners for sharing some of their special vehicles with us this week. The students loved being up close and able to learn more about your important work.

Floyd 3rd graders are really impressing Mrs. Diaz with their partner reading skills. Paired reading a portion of the teacher-led lesson is an important part of our daily practice.

Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Carey were eager to get to nature time with their first graders today. What a beautiful day for outdoor learning at Floyd.
