Happenings in 1st Grade

After spending the week, reviewing old and new words from the word wall, students in first grade used shaving cream to write their words on their desk. It was a fun, messy way for them to practice their words one more time.

Art News

Art for both elementary and middle school this year is focusing on American artists. So far the elementary have worked as groups to build pioneer homestead models, done their own self portraits and made their own creative interpretations of Gilbert Stuart's portrait of Washington.

Poems in 3rd Grade

Ms. Assel’s third grade class has been reading silly poems. To help set the mood, students wear “goofy glasses” while they read. Last week’s poems were My Dog Chewed Up My Homework and My Backpack Weights a Thousand Pounds. Everyone did an excellent job of reading fluently with great expression!

Entertainment Book Sales

Our Entertainment Book sales have begun!  After the first week, we have already had many students turn in the proceeds from the books they sold.  Friday we had an assembly to announce the winners of the Target gift cards, and all students who have sold a book received a special surprise.

Thanks in advance for all your support!!

First Days of School

On August 12, 2010, The Bodine School welcomed new and returning students for the first day of the 2010-2011 school year. Balloons decorated the entrances, and faculty and staff were outside to greet students and parents alike.


The first days were busy getting settled with new supplies, new teachers, and new friends. On Friday, The Bodine School’s mascot, a bulldog named “Woody”, was on hand to visit with everyone.

"Back to the Basics"

Thematic units are a part of each new grading period at The Bodine School. Middle Schoolers are currently working on "Back to the Basics," a theme designed to help them retrieve the skills they have already learned as well as learn and apply new middle school procedures. Ms. Uphoff created this colorful bulletin board on which students have displayed many of the basics they feel are important to success in school.
