In Makerspace, students use the NGSS Engineering design process to solve challenges.
Today, the... Grade 5 class met the Twist & Turn challenge by creating a marble roller coaster with assigned materials that has the longest possible run with the marble ending in a cup. It's exciting to see students using their teamwork and critical thinking skills to design their roller coaster.

2022 BFS High School Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month
Middle School had a SHARK Assembly focusing on our SLO “Socially Conscious”. They started with ...the morning greeting finding the person who has a card that matches with their own. Middle schoolers were being kind and empathetic when finding their match. Next we had Ms. Brenneman, Mr. Yang, Ms. Tempest and Ms. Castins dressed up as students and showed how we can be socially conscious at BFS. Finally, students placed an emotion card on their forehead and went around to find a person to receive a hint. The students giving the hint said something in response to the person’s emotion card, for example, “I’m sorry you feel this way. Do you want to talk about it?”. It was great seeing middle school’s meaningful morning assembly!

Our Grade 1 Sharks showed their socially conscious side during our Grade 1 Identity and Cultural ...Day. We have been learning about different family, school, and community groups we belong to during Social Studies. We have also learned we can teach others as well as learn from others. During our special day students were able to share about their individual identities and cultures. We were also able to learn a lot from our classmates. We all learned a lot and finished the event with foods from around the world!
