Bureau Valley Junior High/Elementary

Mr. Henegar’s 6th Grade Social Studies classes gave their Living History speeches last Friday. All of the students looked and sounded great!

6th grade and 8th grade ELA classes learned how to use adjectives in class today.

Mrs. Bell's 4th grade students each read a Who Is/Who Was book. Then, the students created the person they read about as part of the book project.

Ms. Crabtree's class took a field trip to City County Park and spent the day learning about Illinois nature & wildlife conservation.

BVE/JH would like to invite our retired teachers and staff of Bureau Valley Elementary/Jr. High to our retirement breakfast. Retired teachers and staff can RSVP to join us at 9:00 on Thursday, May 21st.

Mrs. Price's ELA classes participated in the state-wide writing competition, Letters About Literature. Students had to choose a book that changed their perspective on life or a specific topic. Students were recognized for their writing with certificates from the state.

Students in Mr. Henegar's and Mrs. Schoff's social studies classes researched a U.S. President and First Lady, bringing history to life through speeches, storytelling, and character portrayal. Each student introduced themselves as their chosen figure, highlighting key accomplishments and their impact on our nation. The speeches are in alphabetical order starting with 7A, continuing with 7B, 7C, and 7D.
