BCS staff take making Blackford better seriously by participating in a variety of professional development opportunities.
Last week, BCS Literacy Coach Monica Myers conducted a presentation to work with staff that included: Amanda Ehrhart, pre-Kindergarten teacher, Katie Barnes and Jessica Barker, kindergarten teachers; Rachel Shadiow, first grade, and fellow Literacy Coach Cissy Clock
The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) has just released Indiana’s Priorities for Early Literacy Plan that will be implemented this coming 2022-2023 school year. Mrs. Myers is one of many educators across the state who participated in drafting the framework to provide additional support for Indiana schools as they teach students to read. Known as Indiana’s Priorities for Early Literacy, the framework focuses on intentional efforts to ensure students receive foundational reading skills for long-term success. This includes supporting schools in implementing evidence-based literacy practices based on the Science of Reading.

There's no better grade to celebrate 2-22-22 than 2nd grade!
Check out the fun times the 2nd graders at Northside were having yesterday! According to 2nd grade teacher Rhonda Thurman, activities included drawing animals with the number 2, pattern block puzzles creating 2-22 and double images, a partner memory matching game, a reading of the book Tuesday, and brain break activities. The second grade P.E. class played partner tag. Students came dressed as twins, while others wore tutus. We finished the day with snacks of two. There were KitKat candy bars that came in 2, Little Debbie’s packaged in 2, double stuffed Oreos, and cookies packaged in 2.
What a fun 2-22-22!
The students sure are busy in Mrs. Cristi Aulbach's 2nd grade class at Northside!
"We have been learning about 2D & 3D shapes in math. We played a game similar to Headbands where they had to try to guess their mystery shape based on clues from their partner. They had a such a fun time while they used their knowledge they have gained in class!" - Mrs. Aulbach
