Mrs. Hedlund's Kindergarten explorers were out in the meadow today looking for insects! They have learned what to look for through a really fun song! Ask your K student to sing it to you! Head, Thorax, abdomen, abdomen! They were discovering all sorts of insects that crawl, fly, and creep. What a great day to explore, discover, and learn! Great job little scientists!!

Happy birthday to our Mr. Schweigert!!!! We 🖤🖤💛💛 you!

Our PTO is the best!!! Thank you for all the "sunshine" you spread this morning with your treat cart!!!!

BCEL Families, I sent out a text message last week asking for pick up parents to please leave driveways on Miller rd. clear so that those residents who are trying to get out are able to. The problem continued today leading to a frustrated homeowner trying to leave her driveway. Please, help out our Miller rd. neighbors by not blocking their driveways when you are waiting for pick up at the end of the day. We appreciate your help keeping the driveways open. Mr. Hale and Deputy Brandt are aware of the situation and are involved in finding a solution. Thank you for your cooperation Beth Bredt

Mrs. Chappel's 1st grader scientists learned about texture in nature with this fabulous sorting activity today! Great job little observers! What great finds!

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.

Ms. Heiders young fives continue their ABC countdown w Hh is for Hawaian day! Ms. Heider turned her classroom into a big giant "pool" to beat the heat!!

BCEL''s 1st grade students had a wonderful day at the CNC despite the weather! Our nature explores learned to adapt as they moved lessons inside. We love going to the CNC no matter the weather!

The kids at BCEL were treated to a building wide snow cone party this afternoon from our PTO for meeting our Color Run fundraising goal!! Way to go kids and families! It was the perfect treat on this beautiful afternoon!!
