Week of Monday, September 9- Friday, September 13

 

Our second week of school has been wonderful! This week in class we learned about what makes a good friend.  Ask your child to share with you all of the details for making a new friend at BCS. We are practicing these strategies everyday on our fabulous playground and throughout the day at school.
