BCEL's Leaping Lancer award winners for October!!! We are so proud of these Little Lancers growing leaps and bounds!!!!
Our teachers use short cycle assessments to drive instruction, set goals, and track student growth. We display results and progression in the hallways so that students can physically see their growth and take ownership of their learning! This amazing board was created by BCEL's 2nd grade team! I cant wait to see those stars move as students learn and grow!
BCEL got its annual visit from our spooooky friend Mr. Marrow and his creepy handler Ms. Dani!!! Happy Halloween from BCEL!!
Mrs. Cassow's Kindergarten scientists explored pumpkins today and used the seeds to count on their hundreds chart. It was also really fun so squish the pumpkin guts and feel the slimy seeds in your hands! Great job little scientists!
