As part of our yearlong focus on "Being Well," each homeroom is taking a turn developing the lunch menu. Today's lunch, planned by 6 Lewandowski and prepared by our own cooks, was Greek inspired!

Thank
you to BEEM for a wonderful field trip!  On March 4th, 2010 Thursday,
the 3rd and 4th grade students went on a field trip to the University
of Maine.  The trip was the grand finale for a study of the tundra and
a kick-off for our study of scientists.  The third and fourth grade
teachers wrote a BEEM grant in October for an interactive
video-conference with the Mount Washington Observatory Distance
Learning educators.  Last Thursday classes went live to the summit
of Mount Washington and learned
about climate and weather from the people who know it best: the hardy
men and women living and working in the Observatory's legendary summit
weather station.  The 3rd and 4th grade students and teachers appreciate the
support of BEEM for this terrific day!

The Middle School Science room is proud to announce that we now have live streaming video of our classroom pet geckos Vincent and Van Gogh!  The video stream will only be available for a short period of time so check it out while you can!  Click on the following link to access the stream:

Please note that geckos are nocturnal animals and will primarily be active at night, but you might still catch a glimpse of them peeking out from their rock during the day.  You may also see some crickets moving about in the cage.

We hope you enjoy the stream and keep checking to see if you can catch sight of Vincent and Van Gogh!

Kids built a marble run by giving Mrs. Hally directions. Then, she taped it together. It had to have at least 1 loop. Success!

First and second grade students enjoyed a shadow puppet
performance of "Peter and the Wolf" by Sergei Prokofiev.  The
performance was by a small group, Growlight Productions, headed by Ms.
Bisberg's sister Dhyana Bisberg.

The BHCS Student Council has set up the change tower in the lobby to collect change for UNICEF relief in Haiti. Pictured here are Jordon Soper, Emma Richardson, Marygrace Connolly, and Will Ricker making donations this week. Many thanks to all who have donated... but there is still room for more!
