Thursday, May 16th was a fun filled evening starting with the Bouncey  House for all Braham Area Elementary students K-6th sponsored by the BEPO group.  All proceeds will go toward future school/student activities!  The activities continued  with an opportunity to register and learn more about our 2013-14 kindergarten all-day, every-day  and early childhood programs.

The kindergarten students at Braham Area Elementary school enjoyed “Buddy Day”.

Buddy Day activities included sailing on a pirate ship, making volcanoes erupt, and digging for dinosaur bones.

Targeted Services  Grades 1-6 ended the after school program on Tuesday, April 30th with a picnic, partner reading, and outdoor activities!!  Targeted Services will be having 16 sessions of summer school on Tuesdays & Thursdays beginning June 11th – August 8th, from 7:30 am until 12:00 noon.  Hope to see you then!!

On Friday, April 5th, Braham first graders enjoyed a dance-intergrated  visual art lesson on lines by Teaching Artist, Alison Holland with funding support from the BEPO organization.  They tried on “chance dance,”a Merce Cunningham theory of choreography, while modeling movement.  Students captured the dancing with “quick sketches” before experimenting with Keith Haring style abstract art focusing on gesture lines and vibrant colors.  After their artwork was complete, students had an opportunity to compare and contrast each other’s use of line and color to illustrate their “chance dance” movements.
