Bullock Creek School District

"This is the best thing ever!" --1st Grader, Floyd Mrs. Carey's class made their own Thunder Cake after reading the book by the same name by Michigan author Patricia Polacco.

This week the 6th Grade Band has a virtual Q&A with composer Erin Lilliefors! The students got to learn more of how a piece is composed & get critiques from the actual composer to improve for the upcoming concert. Big thank s to Mrs. Lilliefors for taking the time!!!

Ms. Pretzer's students were on a mission: scouting for maple trees to get ready for tapping. They are learning to identify trees based on the 3 B's-buds, bark, and branching. Afterwards, they enjoyed the rain and explored in the woods. 🍁

Seeing Mrs. Hedlund smiling through the chaos of Oakisuits and boots in the hall says it all- the fun they had in the rain makes the cleanup all worth it!

This month our Bullock Creek Board of Education honored four wonderful recipients with Lancer Leader Awards. Congratulations to Marie Bradley, Shelly Discher, Kevin Discher and Suzelle Drake! Thank you for nominations from J. Blizzard, Mrs Snell, H. Habitz and Mr Carroll.

Today the Floyd 5th Grade Kindness Club assisted our school counselor intern with presenting a lesson to our kindergartners. The 5th graders read a book and used an egg science experiment to show how kindness lifts others up.

Floyd 5th graders came together to celebrate Lunar New Year in preparation for reading Half and Half by Lensey Namioka. Students learned about Chinese and Asian culture, read books, made crafts, wrote in Chinese, played games, did Chinese math, and even tasted Asian treats.

Mrs. Hupfer's class took advantage of the sun and revisited their learning about shadows.

Shout out to our SRO, Deputy Brandt as we celebrate National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day!

Thank you Deputy Brandt for all you do. We appreciate you!

Floyd Kindergarten and first grade students had a morning of adventures on Feelings Island. Students moved through each classroom as they learned how to care for their emotions and practiced building confidence through positive affirmations. 

Mrs. Korson's students are taking a brain break before tackling more of their day.

What fills my principal heart? Today it was when two 3rd graders entered a 5th grade classroom to record a reading goal, and the 5th graders stopped what they were doing to celebrate them. Unprompted. I'm so proud to spend my days at Floyd. 🖤💛 ~Mrs. Moses

Nothing says Happy Valentine's Day like a middle school dance!
