Ms. Bitting's 3rd graders just wrapped up their Science Unit on the Life Cycle of Monarch butterflies. The class was able to watch the complete change, or metamorphosis, of these Monarchs from egg, to larva, to chrysalis, to adult in their classroom. As each adult butterfly emerged from its chrysalis, the class would select a good name for each one such as Autumn, Mariposa (which is Spanish butterfly), Flutter, and Flower. Then they would release each of the butterflies so they could begin their migration south to Mexico. Great job BV!
Young chemists in Mr. Benck's class prove the Law of Conservation of Mass. Students create their own procedures to trap the gas produced by the reaction or some of the mass will be "lost."

BVJH 8th grade students were able to go on our annual Shadows of the Blue and Gray field trip again this year and had a wonderful time learning more about Civil War history. Thanks to the Shadow’s committee for keeping this available to schools each year!
Third grade has been learning about our most abundantly grown local crop: corn. Each student received an ear of corn that they measured, counted the rows of, estimated the numbers of kernels on, and then shelled. After their ear of corn was shelled, Ms. Bitting challenged her students to come up with a strategy to count the number of kernels from their ear of corn.
Great Job Bureau Valley Elementary SEL classes and Ms. Blessman!

Dear Bureau Valley School Community,
In our efforts to keep our stakeholders informed of important information, this letter is to notify you we have become aware of an individual at BVHS who has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Since the onset of symptoms, the individual has been self-quarantined, and all close contacts have been notified.
Today two Bureau Valley FFA officers, Lilly Allicks and Kate Stoller, traveled to Bloomington, Illinois to attend the Elite Conference. The Elite Conference is to educate students about being Ag teachers. Both students met knew people from other schools with similar interest in agriculture. These students left with new ideas to bring back to our chapter!
