The kindergarten classes are participating in a multi week Halloween/monster match themed project. They created monsters and then helped write descriptions of them. Next week, they will be getting descriptions from another class (from a different school) about that class's monster to recreate it and that class will do the same with our descriptions. Finally, the classes will connect during a video conference and share their monster recreations.
The second graders spent Halloween morning building spooky spider "web" bridges in STEM.

Mrs. Gomez's and Mrs. Marvin's 5th Graders visited the Buffalo Museum of Science last Thursday as a culminating field trip to their Space Unit! Students participated in a hands-on activity where they learned about constellations that appear during each season. They also got to see what our night sky looked like throughout the year. The day's events also included exploring the museum, and a visit to the rooftop Observatory, where students got to see a 360 degree view of the city of Buffalo. Students had such a great time and appreciate the district giving them this opportunity!
Halloween has arrived in the elementary STEM lab! We kicked off the start of spooky STEM week with a third grade engineering project that incorporated measurement and 3 D shapes. Students were challenged to build a free standing haunted house that measured at least 12 inches tall.

This October middle and high school students taking art had the opportunity to visit the Marion Art Gallery on the campus of SUNY Fredonia to see the exhibit Atlas- Historical Works and Recent Works of Alberto Rey. The exhibit highlighted Rey’s recent travels around the world through paintings, drawings and ceramics. Awarded SUNY Distinguished Professor for Research and Creative Activity, Rey is also an official Orvis Guide and made special visits to the gallery to meet BCS students, take questions and share his personal insights. Barbara Racker, the gallery director, provided each student with a catalog of the exhibit along with lunch at the campus cafe, Cranson Marche. Students also enjoyed visiting the campus bookstore. Visit the following links to see more of his work: https://albertorey.com/ and https://atlasalbertorey.weebly.com/
