Bobcat for the Week of September the 17th

Way to go Makyra!!! She has been a wonderful addition to our BCE family. She is constantly helping others.


Hi I'm Makyra i practically live in 2 houses but only one is mine. I love both my mom and my dad but what I love the most is fashion,swimming,and especially crazy roller coasters and 5th grade. I think I was picked bobcat of the week because I was asked to help Mrs.Boyd and asked to do more. I also think I was picked bobcat of the week for volunteering to do many different things to help our class out.

Twitter in our Classroom

In today's society, social networking is an important part of life.  Twitter is one social network that we are mimicing in our classroom.  The students will be given a post subject each week.  They will be posting their thoughts on our Twitter board which is located in the back of the room.  One of the Bobcat jobs is to report these "tweets" weekly on the blog. 

Our first post topic was on August 20th. 

"What are your feelings for the 5th grade year?"

Belen - I am so glad that I am a 5th grader.  This is going to be a gr8 (great) year.  I am in the class of 2013.  I have the most awesome teacher in school.  I love Reading, Math, and Science.  I love to help everyone.

Chris- Omg, I am so excited for 5th grade. I can't wait for the 5th grade year. I can't wait for science with Mrs. Boyd. She is the best 5th grade teacher.

Anastasia- I am so happy that I'm finally in a fifth grade class. I think that the class of 2013 is going to be awesome. I want to learn a lot of hard math this year. LOL!

Daniela- It feels so cool to be a fifth grader. I know it's going to be awesome I want to read a lot of books this year. Before you know it were going to be in middle school! Wish me luck!

Zack- I am hoping that's this is going to be a great year, and I hope to read at least 30 books this year.

Bobcat for the week of September 10th

Way to go Daniella! She volunteered last week to help out with different classroom jobs. She is a wonderful asset to our classroom. Congratulations!

Hi my name is Daniela, I'm ten years old. I like to play soccer, I love pizza, shrimp, lobster, crab, and octopus. I was born in Guatemala. Oh and I love chocolate! I think I was chosen to be Bobcat of the Week because I help my teacher and I help my class mates.

Bobcat for the week of September 3rd

Congratulations to Zach for being a model student in our classroom! He is continually helping others and our classroom family.

What I want my classmates to know about me is that I love to play soccer and tennis. But I don't like to play golf and hockey. For my free time I like to play video games and watch a movie with my mom or my dad. Something that frustrates me is when I have a lot of homework to do that takes me an hour. My favorite foods that I like are pizza, ice cream, Cheetos, and Doritos. My least favorite foods are green beans, pears, oranges, and any other fruit or vegetable. I think I was chosen as weekly bobcat because I keep helping my classmates and Mrs.Boyd. and I just want to help out my class as much as I can!

Mysterious M & M's

Over the past week the students have explored what it is like to think like a scientist. They were handed an M&M and asked to describe it, observe it, split in half and describe, observe it in a variety of different water temperatures, and observe different colors and how they reacted to the water. They were introduced to the Scientific Method and several terms including independent variable and dependent variable. We will be starting to explore the water cycle next week.

Bobcat for the Week of August 27th

Each week a new student will be selected to be the "Bobcat of the Week".  This student will be chosen by going above and beyond what a normal Bobcat displays: Respectful, Peaceful, Responsible, and Safe.

The students' pictures will be placed on the blog with a brief bio about themselves.  Having the honor of being "Bobcat of the Week" allows them several privileges (chosen and discussed among the students):

1.  Be the first to choose a class job.

2.  Homework Pass for one assignment for the week

3.  1st in line for lunch

4.  20 minutes of free time (computer time, reading outside, Legos) with a friend.

Congratulations to Belen for going above and beyond the first week of school.  She was always willing to help everyone, including myself.  It was nice to have such a reliable student the first week of school.  Way to go Belen!!!

My name is Belen.  I am 10.  My house is crowded.  I live with my mom, dad, sister, and grandma.  They are all really helpful.  Well my other grandma works in my school cafeteria, which is awesome!  I enjoy reading and art.  They are both my favorite subject.  I also love to help.  My most favorite thing in the world is that I like to cook.  My mom said I was going to cook for Donald Trump!  She also said I would be the best chef/cook.  So basically, I have told you a lot about my life. 

P.S.  I am the first Bobcat of the year.  ;)
