Culture Fest was a hit at @HickmanKewpies today! Such a celebration of the diversity that makes the school so special. @mrsschmittel & Mrs. Turek did a terrific job organizing students who were so excited to share!
Absolutely beautiful day for @ParkadePanthers and @WestBlvdElem 5th graders to learn more about @boonehistory at BCHCC. What a gift this Mueseum is to our community!
Had our first SS Meet Up at Shakes West yesterday and I only took one picture. Middle school turn out was small but mighty. High School teachers represented well. Will grab better pics at Meet Up #2 coming later this fall!
It's a Wednesday in the Fall which means the 5th graders were at @boonehistory for some Place Based Experiences. Today we welcomed @CRE_Cardinals & @FVEFalcons. The students were inquisitive, energetic, and respectful of the Museums and our amazing docents. #cpsbest for sure!
These are fascinating and would make for great writing prompts or What do you see? What do you think? What did you wonder?

Back at @boonehistory this beautiful morning with Mill Creek 5th graders. So appreciative of the BCHCC staff and volunteers who teach us so much about our history!
I've been teaching for over 20 years, and these are 8 rules I live by: 1. Spend the first week or two learning about each of your students—their passions and concerns. This effort will make your school year smoother because your students will know that you genuinely care.
This account hasn't posted in a while but we are back and excited for the 2024-25 school year! These two groups of social studies experts are ready to engage our students in civil discourse and have a lot of fun doing it!
We're getting back in the swing of it with the start of a new school year! Thrilled to already have our first field trip on Day 7 of the school year! Thanks @boonehistory for always being terrific hosts.

The MO House plans to vote Tuesday on an education bill that would expand vouchers for private schools by $25M and expand charters to *specifically* Boone County. This would mean local taxes would be spread across two parallel systems to educate the same number of kids. Not good!
Nice article highlighting the GeoBee!
I was a big fan of all the little details that went into making our Multicultural Event such a memorable day of learning for our #TrustyHuskies. From fortune cookies for dessert to flag buttons, our Equity Committee really went above & beyond!
Over 4000 #cpsbest middle schoolers participated in the 3rd Annual CoMo GeoBee. Tonight the 7 school winners competed to be crowned District Champion. Congratulations to runner up, Sid Mueller of @OMSEagles and to our 3-time repeat Champion, Ben Hanson of @jmscyclones!
We grow better, together!

A beautiful windy day for a Capitol tour w/ @RUSBLVD. Their own Rep @KathySteinhoff came up to meet one group & the other group got to see her bring an Amendment to the floor that was voted on & passed. Democracy in action! Remember Russell Ravens, YOU are the strong MO Bear!
Had a great time with @CRE_Cardinals 5th graders at the @boonehistory today. They had such great questions about the life of the Lenior/Nifong family who lived in the Maplewood home. What an outstanding piece of preserved history & perfect for Placed Based Learning!
