🎄✨ Holiday Centers in Kindergarten! ✨🎄 Our classroom has been full of festive learning this week! 🍬 Candy Land Math – Students practiced number sense while moving their way through a sweet holiday board. 🎳 Subtraction Bowling – Roll, knock down, subtract… and celebrate! 🌲 Tree Jenga – Each block had an addition or subtraction problem to solve before pulling it out. 🍪 Gingerbread Dice Race – Roll, count, and race your gingerbread to the finish line! ❄️ In science, we explored states of matter by building a snowman! We learned that our snowman starts as a solid, and when he melts, he becomes a liquid. Hands-on science at its best! Love watching our kinders learn through play! ❤️ #BCEGators #UnstoppableTogether #LearningInAction

🫁 🫀Curious minds at work! Our 2nd graders have been learning about lungs, heart, brain, and stomach with fun hands-on activities -making lungs from balloons and straws, creative brain hats, and mapping where body parts live on chalk art. Next up: a messy, memorable digestion experiment to finish the unit to reinforce scientific observation and inquiry skills! 🐊 #BCEGators #LearningInAction #UnstoppableTogether

⚡🔧 Science in Action! 🔧⚡
Our Bessey Creek 5th graders were full of excitement as they explored how energy works by building their own circuits! Their curiosity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills shined as they brought science to life through hands-on learning.

We couldn’t be more proud of our young scientists and the way they continue to think, question, and innovate. Keep shining, Gators! 💡🐊

🌾🐄 Field Trip Fun! 🐓🌻 Our kindergarteners had an amazing day visiting the farm after wrapping up our nonfiction writing unit! 📚✏️ Seeing real animals and farm tools brought their learning to life in the best way. Students made connections to everything they’ve been writing about—from how farmers care for animals to the plants we eat every day. 🌽🐑 We loved watching their curiosity bloom and hearing them share fun facts they learned during our unit. What a perfect way to celebrate all their hard work! 💛✨#BCEGators #LearningInAction #UnstoppableTogether

Last week, our 4th graders had the opportunity to hear directly from local government professionals about how they identify challenges and develop solutions that support our community. Students asked thoughtful questions, learned about real-world problem-solving, and gained a clearer understanding of how civic leadership works in everyday life. We appreciate our guests for investing time in our students and helping them see the impact they can make in their own community. #BCEGators #LearninginAction #UnstoppableTogether
