Part of the fun of having a MakerSpace in the library is trying to make your vision a reality. Here one of Mr. Edwards' students is attempting to build a crane with LittleBits circuits. Ms. Kromer has been working hard to digitize our Series Book (the big blue binder). Now you can browse the series that BMS Library owns from wherever you are. Find the next title in the series you are reading or find the next great series to read. Don't forget to stop by the library and tell Ms. Kromer thanks for making our reading lives easier!
The eighth grade traveled to the San Antonio Holocaust Memorial Museum last week for an educational field trip. Students learned about the history of the Holocaust from volunteer docents, viewed a video, worked in groups to make connections between the Holocaust and other genocides in history, and heard personal testimonies from Holocaust survivors Rose Williams and Susanne Jalnos. The field trip experience will allow the students to bring new context to their learning as they finish reading The Diary of Anne Frank and begin reading their World War II literature circle novels. A big thank you to Ms. Bagwell for leading the students in making origami butterfly bouquets to present as gifts to the Holocaust survivors. The students stopped at Raymond Russell Park to eat lunch on the way back to Bandera.
Coach Frost's advisory raised the most funds in the Pennies for Patients drive for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. As a reward for their fundraising efforts, Coach Frost graciously allowed his advisory students to give him eyebrows for a week. Way to be a team player, Coach! And thanks, Alexyn Bentancourt, for the pictures.
