The blog has been kind of quiet this week, but that's because life on campus has been wonderfully busy. Mrs. Groff was fortunate to attend the Texas Library Association conference in San Antonio last week. In addition to learning about great resources for our students and teachers, she brought back over 20 advanced reader copies of books that will be published over the next several months. Several BMS students took on the challenge of reading the ARCs to determine whether the new titles would make good additions to the BMS collection. Mrs. Groff is totally excited about the students' input into collection development and their willingness to serve as a teen advisory team. Let the reading begin! With STAAR just around the corner, 8th grade students spent the week working with Ms. Rekemeyer and Coach Spiegleman reviewing the timeline of events in American History. Wow! Talk about students engaged in learning. The students worked in collaborative teams to match events, images, and descriptions in an interactive learning experience. Our students are ready to take on STAAR! If you happened to drive down 11th Street today and saw 6th graders running around looking for eggs, they weren't on an early Easter egg hunt. They were participating in an "egg-cellent" math/science lesson with Miss Smallwood and Ms. Moseley. They used their STAAR math charts to solve equations and search for eggs marked with the correct answer. To confirm that they'd solved correctly, the students had to identify the item in the egg. Needless to say, the 6th graders had a fun day in science!
