Floyd Elementary’s Ms. Murdock and her 2nd graders took a break from building wolf dens when just the right size log was found for a little fun—and who says bins are just for carrying materials? What a fun way to travel to the den site!
Ms. Pretzer’s class took a hike to look for animal tracks and then enjoyed some free explore time.
Ms. Collison and her class used their creativity last week to make some frozen nature mobiles.
Last week Mrs. Duhoski's class used the cold to turn gas into liquid...turn their"clouds of condensation" (from their water cycle song) into water vapor.
Also, last week, check out these tunneling voles trying to make it to the subnivean layer, and an epic jump with Mr. Schweigert to change a solid with a strong force!

Thank you to our local United Way for our disinfecting kits and the generous donation of Amazon gift cards!!!
2nd Graders at BCEL joined Ms. Allie from Chippewa Nature Center in exploring to find evidence of animals in the woods and meadow.
Floyd students celebrated meeting a December goal with a trail activity that included a story by a bonfire, song trivia, and hot chocolate. Thank you to the many staff members that helped make this special activity happen.
Fifth grade students at Floyd Elementary use rekenreks to build the product of 6 and 7. These fantastic materials were purchased through a Kiwanis Club grant written by and awarded to math lab teacher, Mrs. Beth Bluemer.
Today Mrs. Johnson’s 6th grade Social Studies classes learned about international economic interdependence. Groups of students represented different countries making bids to produce pencils for the United States. They found the best routes to get the materials (wood, graphite, paint, aluminum, and rubber) to their country for production and then back to the United States. They were surprised to discover that it takes the cooperation of so many different nations to make the pencils they use every day in school. Our tools for note-taking are truly a global effort!
First grade students at Floyd enjoyed the snow today while making icy nature ornaments and examining snowflakes.
Good morning Bullock Creek. The Bullock Creek School District is in session today (1/6/22). Some roads are slick in spots, please allow extra time on your morning commute.
Five awesome Bullock Creek High School Alumni visited with students from English 11 and English 12 classes. Aubrey Brown (2019 grad and SVSU junior), Addi Buda (2021 grad and Delta freshman), Rylie Kalina (2017 grad and Davenport Master's Degree), Sam Midkiff (2021 grad and Purdue freshman), and Kaylee Monville (2021 grad and EMU freshman) shared their experiences and advice for college with the students.
Creekers for a Cause donated over 15 pairs of waterproof gloves and mittens, hats, and knitted gloves to our nature program. Having warm outdoor gear is an important part of ensuring our students have positive learning experiences outdoors. We are grateful for their donation.
This week, 6th, 7th and 8th grade art students created miniature gingerbread houses. They sketched designs based on donated supplies then built their house around a recycled milk carton. Finally, they decorated their festive houses (and ate a few treats along they way)!
What a special day for Floyd Elementary students and staff! We were treated to a holiday concert put on by Mrs. B and the BCHS band at the auditorium. Thank you for adding to our festive mood and the chance to practice being a respectful member of an audience. We loved it all!
A huge shout out to the BC/PR PTO for purchasing a book for the Pine River Elementary's first trimester Lancer Super Stars.
Nothing gets you in the Holiday spirit like the best Holiday concert ever! Wonderful performance Creek Bands!
