Here are some photos of brains that were built in psychology this spring! Students chose something to study that would impact the human brain, such as caffeine, sleep deprivation, sugar, blue light, etc., and then did some research. After building a brain, they gave a presentation teaching the class about the impact on 10 chosen brain parts. Brains were made from a wide variety of materials including Play-Doh, clay, brownie mix, cauliflower and more. One brain was even 3D printed this year! Students learned a great deal and seemed to even have some fun.

BCEL students are getting excited about their nature art walk next week! They have been busy creating. The kindergarten students had fun painting a welcome sign together.
Physics students were decorating the sidewalk with fun physics. Other pictures are physics students trying to use torque and center of mass to balance a meter stick. Who says physics isn't fun?

Thank you to our BCEL families for their hard work cleaning and freshening up our nature areas. We enjoyed the laughs and conversation while we took care of our school.
Miss Allie from Chippewa Nature Center surprised us with an end of the day visit with a Western Fox Snake! Thank you Ms. Allie!
2nd grade students from BCEL visited Floyd Elementary today to explore the pond, woods, and vernal pools. The students demonstrated such flexibility when thunder moved us inside. With Mrs. Clarks guidance the 2nd grade students from each building met and got to know each other through some fun activities.
Privileged to spend the day with our Midland County School Resource Officers from the Midland County Sherriff’s Office at the Great Lakes Homeland Security conference. I have a ton of respect for the work of Officer Brandt, Officer Hodges and Officer Streeter.
Proud to celebrate today with our top honor graduates of 2022 and their invited guests.
Congratulations to the academic BC scholars who were able to make the Kiwanis Honors Banquet this evening!
In addition to our typical nature times, some of our teachers across the district have been utilizing our nature spaces for literacy and math instruction. Pictures featured here are from Ms. Heider’s Y5’s class, Miss Pretzer’s Kindergarten class and Mrs. Korson’s 3rd grade class.
