Happy
Spring!
Mrs.
Peterson’s Kindergarten class is busy planning for a Mother’s Day breakfast
on the morning of May 8th.
In math everyone is learning ways to solve addition and subtraction
problems. The class is writing
dictated sentences and reading and writing narratives.
Look for information coming home about Kindergarten Graduation in June.
Mrs.
Santoro’s 1st graders
have been
working hard reading chapter books.
We have a special time each day where we read silently, partner read, and read
to the teacher. In math we have been
working on problem solving. The
children use many tools to do this, such as, rulers, templates, money, dice,
clocks, and a hundreds chart. The
children continue to enjoy writer’s workshop and write fictional and
non-fictional stories daily.
Mrs.
Dinsmore’s 2nd grade class
is having a
taste of spring with a blooming jungle in the classroom.
We have enjoyed watching the plants turn
from seedling to sprout to leafy plant.
Our botany experiment will continue as we also planted basil seeds.
Writer’s Workshop will be closing out the year with a unit on Poetry.
Students will read and practice an assortment of different poem styles,
all with an emphasis on word choice.
In math we are focusing on decimals, place value, and multiplication.
Mrs.
Schulte’s 2nd and 3rd grade class
are completing a WEBQUEST on The Chalk
Box Kid. This is an internet
activity where the students gather information and complete projects based on
the book they are reading or have just finished reading.
Our last novel for the year is still up in the air.
The weather and the water cycle unit is complete and now we move to
caterpillars and butterflies in science.
Mr. Cady’s
4th and 5th grade
is reading
Bridge to Terabithia as a class and discussing friendship, the theme of the
book. We are talking about ways to
make friends and ways to keep them.
The students are making friendship bracelets which they must give to a friend.
In science we are studying climate and weather which is appropriate for
this time of year. We did a fun
experiment in class showing what happens when a cold front meets up with a warm
front.

on the career of Carrick Remaley. Mr. Remaley is bidding farewell to BFHS after
20+ years of service. We wish him
luck on his future endeavors. In the beginning of our school year, our goal was to work
on consistency, communication, and school spirit. We have tried to improve in
all these areas. If you have any
comments about our successes or non-successes, please let the high school office
know. Congratulations to our spring sports programs.
At the time of this writing two of our spring sports qualified for post-

Final Schedule Spring 2007 -08
We hope that everyone has a great finish to the school year and that everyone has a relaxing, enjoyable, and safe summer. See you next year.
The 2007-2008 school year is quickly drawing to a
close. We are now done with the
spring ISAT testing finished and the preliminary results are very encouraging.
The students have made significant gains.
The intervention classes that we started this fall have proven to be very
successful and a majority of the students in these classes have made proficiency
on their ISAT tests. We would like
to salute these students for their diligence and also thank Mrs. Laura Nishek
for her dedication to the academic progress of her students.
Final test scores will be sent home late this summer.
The 8th grade band under the direction
of Rachel Gordon did an outstanding job at this years
Move up day for next years 6th, 7th
and 8th grade students will be held on the morning of Thursday May 22nd.
Students from the elementary schools who will be attending BCMS next year
will have the opportunity to tour the school and meet their teachers.
This fall before school starts, we will also be hosting transition day
for all 6th graders. It
is our hope that by doing this, we will be able to make the move from elementary
school to the middle school smoother and less stressful.
Information will be sent out in August as well as articles in the Bonners
Ferry Herald.
The end of year schedule is falling in place and
we will try to provide and update on some of the events.
The sixth graders will be attending science day at Silverwood on
Wednesday, May 14th.
The annual eighth grade trip to Silverwood will be on Wednesday, May 21st.
The big event of the year of course is the 8th grade
