Laptop Time


All Beauclerc Elementary students have the privilege of using laptop computers. They use the computer to take state and county tests, to practice reading and math skills and to become an expert in technology. Students also have access to most of these websites at home or at the public library.

We Love Beginning New Books!


Fourth graders began a new class novel today. It is The Gold-Threaded Dress by Carolyn Marsden. Mrs. Jenkins is curious to see who figures out the genre of the book first and who learns from the author's message.

Our new favorite book

Thank You "Mystery Reader"





Students at Beauclerc Elementary were treated by wonderful adults who took the time to read in the classrooms. Mrs. Lewis (Dawn's mom) read The Boy Who Changed the World by Andy Andrews to Mrs. Donnelly and Jenkins' class. It is an incredible true story that shows children that every choice you make - good or bad, can make a difference. Thank you, Mrs. Lewis for sharing this terrific book with us.

Dress Your Favorite Book Character




Fourth graders were excited about dressing like their favorite book character. The variety of characters came from Husky in a Hut, The Hunger Games, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Jumanji and of course Punctuation Takes a Vacation (can you tell we have been editing?).

Dear Ssgt. Wright,


Students wrote letters this week to their penpal, Ssgt. Bryan Wright from Mandarin who is currently serving in Afghanistan with the Air Force. They helped pack a box of snacks, hand warmers and a blanket to keep Bryan warm this winter.
