The 7th and 8th grade World Music class "traveled" to Japan before spring break! In this unit, they learned about different musical styles, theater and instrument, including taiko drums. They even got to make their own den den daiko, the small rattle-like drum shown below.

Last week, our 4th graders spent a chilly afternoon at the Seno K/RLT Conservancy in Burlington, WI. They learned about Maple Sugaring and Native American History. The traditions of maple sugaring have long been a part of Wisconsin’s history for many centuries. This program focused on the process of making maple syrup and the rich Native American history behind this tradition. Students also had lessons on tree identification, how to properly tap a maple tree, the process of sap-to-syrup, and traditional sugaring techniques.
You can BEE anything you BEE-lieve in yourself to BEE.
2nd graders dug into different groups of jobs along with skills/attributes needed for those jobs. After some research and discussion, students picked a job they thought describes them best right now.
BES 2nd/3rd Grade After School Adventure Club Running Club is starting soon!! *See flier for dates* This activity does have a limit to the number of students that are able to join so please get your forms turned in ASAP! Question: Briana.Brenek@gcj2.k12.wi.us
Last week, our 4K students and their VIPs enjoyed exploring messy science projects like slime and oobleck at our family outreach night. They explored chemical reactions, solids and liquids, and sink/float. It was such a messy but fun night for all!
Happy Spring Break, Mustangs!

8th graders had a great time on their field trip to the 1st Infantry Division from World War I to the Vietnam War Museum. They were able to get to see and walk through military events that they have been learning about and will be learning about throughout the year in Social Studies. What makes this museum unique is that students get the opportunity to be hands on with many of the displays.
BES Families! We hope you were able to check your child(ren)'s backpacks yesterday, because After School Adventure Club forms went home! There is limited space in each class, so we recommend you get your forms turned in as soon as possible!
Yesterday, 3rd graders celebrated Heritage Day 2024. Students presented their heritage day projects, as well as sharing treats from their homeland. This heritage project was created as a way for families to come together and work as a team to learn about their own family's history. The value of these projects is magnified when the projects are shared with their classmates. Students can see truly how everyone has a unique story to tell and everyone comes from a different background. After two months of researching and learning the students presented their own family history, their country of origins information, as well as their own traditional tale from their country. Way to work hard and continue to grow into your greatness, Mustangs!!

This competition pits the top high school automotive technology students against one another in a written and hands on skills competition. The best of the best high school students compete for prizes including tools and technical college scholarships. Eight high schools from SE Wisconsin qualified for the competition with two students representing each school. John and Kaylub placed 4th for Badger, taking home scholarships and tools for both the students and for the automotive program at Badger High School. Way to make us #MustangProud!
