Mrs. Dopp's class created maps of the Great Lakes using the snow as a canvas and spray bottles.
Our BCEL Lancers had quite the change in scenery on their hikes this week. Early in the week we had Winter Wonderland scenery and by the end we were carrying around our coats.
Happy National Counselor Week to Mrs. Jackie Fermoyle! Mrs. Fermoyle is Bullock Creek Middle School's counselor and works with students on a regular basis assisting in the academic, social and emotional well-being of our students. In addition to these things, her office is busy throughout the day with students stopping in to chat about different things, asking for advice on a given situation, checking in for a "chill" after having a rough night at home or popping in for a piece of candy or gum. Mrs. Fermoyle loves and cares about every student at BCMS and we are lucky to have her on our team. Her dedication to meeting the needs of our students is one of the things that makes BCMS a great place to be. Thank you for all you do Mrs. Fermoyle.
To end National Counselors Week BCEL wants to brag all over our very own superhero, Mrs. Clapp!! Mrs. Clapp not only supports our students and families but she adds positivity, spunk, and support to our staff and school culture!! BCEL would not be the same without the unwavering support of our Mrs. Clapp. The entire BCEL family wants to shout it from the rooftops: WE LOVE OUR MRS. CLAPP!!! Thank you for all that you do for us!!
Ms. Heider's Young Five readers were treated to an amazing experience today as they paired up with our 2nd-grade friends in Mrs. Napoli's class!

Mrs. Napoli and Mrs. Dopp's 2nd-grade students at BCEL have had a blast sledding this week! Being out in nature releasing some energy before persevering on their winter benchmark assessments! Research shows that when kids can get outside in their natural environment increases performance on structured tasks in the classroom.
Mrs. Napoli and Mrs. Dopp loved watching their students naturally live in the moment allowing the moment to be what it was; magical, silly, and adventurous!
