On Friday Mrs. Starks' kindergarten class had a guest reader- Delilah from 4th grade! Delilah exhibited her stellar reading skills by reading 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle.

After 21 days of careful monitoring, patience, and excitement, our fifth graders are thrilled to announce that 16 adorable chicks have successfully hatched as part of our annual Life Cycle of a Chicken science unit! 🎉
Students began this journey with fertilized eggs, learning how to maintain the proper temperature and humidity inside our incubator while eagerly awaiting hatch day. Along the way, they explored the anatomy of chickens, life cycles, environmental needs, behaviors, and the responsibilities involved in caring for living animals.
To culminate the unit, each student researched a specific breed of chicken and showcased their learning through informative posters and presentations. It has been an incredible hands-on learning experience that brought science to life right before our eyes!
But we're not done yet...
🚁🥚 Tomorrow is our 14th Annual Egg Drop Challenge! 🥚🚁
Students have designed and engineered egg-protecting vehicles while following strict size and weight requirements. Tomorrow, we'll put their creations to the test as we launch them from the bleachers and see whose egg survives the fall! Will their designs crack under pressure or rise to the challenge?
Stay tuned for photos and results from tomorrow's exciting event!
A big congratulations to our fifth graders for their hard work, creativity, and curiosity throughout this unforgettable science unit. 💛🐣

Brocton CSD Families,
We wanted to let you know about the Mock Crash presentation that is scheduled for today, May 27th, beginning around 12:20 p.m. for students in grades 10-12.

The activity involves a presentation from law enforcement, a staged mock crash scene, emergency response demonstrations, a presentation depicting the aftermath, and consequences of impaired driving.
