Bluford is under a boil water order. Please send a bottle of water with your child or a clear, refillable bottle for our water stations. We will have water available. We apologize for the inconvenience.
2nd Grade has been talking all about change in our reading curriculum! Students have been working to identify details from a text in order to write an informative paragraph. Together we found details, made a topic sentence, and conclusion sentence to form our paragraph. Students first recognized the changes in fall. Then students got to have some fun by painting a fall tree as it changes colors! 🍁
This week we read “A color of his own.” Students found that the chameleon wanted a color of his own, but after meeting a friend, he changed his mind! We used watercolor to paint our own chameleons!
Students were proud of their work and are displaying them in the hallway!
8th grade cross country runners were recognized on Saturday before the Bluford Bash.
If your child wants to attend Kid's Quest on Thursdays after school, please make sure they ask their teacher for registration form . Please make sure to call the school to let us know your child will be attending Kid's Quest so we are aware they have permission .
