Professonal Collaboration Day
Susan Cooper - BES Presenter
Have you ever wondered what BCSD employees are doing on days students are dismissed for Professional Collaboration Days? Here are a few photos from Friday's early release day.
As our district moves toward 21st Century Skills, Bellevue Elementary staff learns specific techniques to encourage and facilitate "thinking" from occupational therapist, Susan Cooper. Her presentation built an understanding of developmental levels to support students capacity to problem solve and "think".
   
After Susan's presentation, staff had a "peel off" session at Woodside Elementary to learn about Atomic Learning. BCSD students will greatly benefit from days such as these as we prepare our students for 21st century skills!

Dual Immersion Kindergarten Has a Snow Day!
Dual Immersion kindergarten students had a blast on Saturday, January 23rd, sledding and playing in the snow. Nearly 60 participants came to sled and roast hot dogs. Parents mingled and met new parents as cross-cultural play dates were planned. The students loved the extra long playtime... and not having to line up for the school bell! What fun!
