Major Accomplishments at BSP: Parent - Teacher Conferences and WGDE Testing

Last week was very successful! The staff was excited to meet with parents and guardians to discuss major learning accomplishments. The evening was enjoyed by all with community donations of chicken, bread, cookies, and potato salad. The students were able to discuss classroom learning objectives and behavioral expectations.

The (7,8,9) English students led discussions which focused on the following classroom learning goals:
(1) words per story - (weekly writing / progress charts)
(2) descriptive / narrative writes - (introductory, body, and conclusion)
(3) various computer programs and classroom computer privileges.

The 9th grade students accomplished the final day of WGDE testing last Thursday, March 4th. They put forth a great amount of effort as they completed 3 days of writing and answering comprehension questions. Then the students completing their tests celebrated with a few "special" lunch orders.

The 7th and 8th graders have been using a great deal of their time practicing for the NESA-R test that will be administered the first week in April. The students have been given many opportunities to learn, discuss, and practice various types of questions which will be associated with assessments for the district and state.
