Bureau Valley Walnut

Career Day was a huge success! Our students had an amazing time learning from different professionals about all kinds of careers. Special thanks to Mr. Roth for his demonstration on coding and robotics. The future is looking bright! ☀️

2nd Grade PE Class Zombie Tag. A favorite game for the 2nd graders to play is Zombie Tag. Zombie tag is a variation of the game of tag where players are "infected" by the "zombie" and become zombies themselves until only a few "survivors" or no one remains. Key variations include: a zombie with one foot in a hula hoop and a pool noodle as a tagging device, which restricts their speed. The 2nd graders had a great time developing spatial awareness, cardiovascular endurance, locomotor and non-locomotor skills (running, chasing, fleeing, dodging).

Wrigley was excited to be back in the halls, soaking up smiles, wagging her tail, and hearing her name! Here’s to a paw-some year making Mondays a little less “ruff”!

Mrs. Krug's 3rd grade class had a visitor for Ag in the Classroom! They learned that we can grow gardens no matter where we live. Students were able to listen to a book about growing gardens. They were able to design and draw their very own gardens!

We love science in 1st grade!! We were able to all make our own cotton candy and we released our monarch butterfly!

Thank you Mrs. Quinn for coming and teaching us about pollinators and plants that are native to our area! We got to add some coneflowers, aster, and milkweed to our pollinator garden. Then we got to throw some milkweed seeds along the creek bank! We can't wait to see the pollinator garden in the fall!

Congratulations to our students who raised their benchmarking scores by at least 1 percentile.this year!

Our students had a blast exploring their new classrooms this week and getting a sneak peek into what next year holds! They were able to ask questions, meet their future teachers, and get excited for all the new adventures ahead. It was a wonderful chance for them to see the fun and exciting things coming their way

Our students have been working hard all year—and it shows! We’ve seen awesome growth in benchmarking, and we couldn’t be more proud of their progress! Whether it was reading, math, or both, these students showed determination, focus, and a can-do attitude. Way to go, learners!
