St. Louis Zoo Field Trip

For meeting our goal for Walk-A-Thon this year all of the elementary was rewarded a field trip to the St. Louis Zoo. We could not have asked for a more beautiful fall day to enjoy. The students all had a wonderful time observing all the animals, birds, and insects at the zoo. We also all had a nice picnic lunch on the zoo grounds. Way to go BCA elementary!

Grandparents Day

On October 14th, our school had our annual Grandparents Day. We recited a poem. sang songs, and each class wrote a special paper for our grandparents to see. We had a wonderful spaghetti lunch with our grandparents. BCA loves our grandparents.

Nature Institute Field Trip

Last Friday we had our first field trip of the year to the Nature Institute. We had such a great time learning about natures plants, insects, and animals. We went on a very long hike learning the entire time about all the things around us. Our hike ended on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. When we got done with our hike we had a campfire lunch complete with hot dogs, chips, and smores. We had prayed all week that we would have good weather and no rain on the day of our field trip. The weather was saying rain all week and God answered their prayers and we had a beautiful fall day with sunshine.

Walk -a-Thon 2009

We had a great a successful Walk-a-Thon this year. Our class alone raised $694. We has a beautiful day and got to have the event at the park. Madison Wamhoff won my top fundraiser classroom prize of going out to eat with me at the fast food restaurant of her choice in Wood River. I would like to congratulate my entire class for a job well done!
