Bonsall Virtual Academy 12/13/2024

Hello BVA families! This week was a fun filled one with Christmas crafts/art and cookie decorating on Wednesday. We had about 18 students who decorarted sugar cookies.

We went Christmas caroling to Silvergate senior center on Thursday. It was so heart warming to see the residents faces light up when they heard our students sing and received the student homemade Christams cards. A fun time was had by all who attended! We were asked to sing for three different groups!

Next week, we will not have intervention on either Monday or Wednesday. We will have minimum day dismissal hours for Friday, 12/20. As a reminder, school will be closed from 12/21-January 6th. School will resume on January 7th.

All middle/high school students need to pick up their guided notes notebook for the 2nd semester. Guided notes are critical while taking courses to keep track of important facts/information.

All elementary students need to pick up their 2nd semester workbook pages. Please plan to pick up your items by Thursday, 12/19.

We will have our annual family Christmas party and potluck on December 19th. There will be a small gift exchange for the kids. Please bring a wrapped gift( $5 or less) if you want your child to participate. Please also bring a favorite food dish to share.

We will celebrate on students who were early finishers, principal honor roll( all A's) and teacher honor roll( A's and B's) on December 19th at 1:00. You will get an invitation if your child will be receiving an award. The teacher/principal honor roll awards are for 3rd grade and higher.

Our students have one week until the end of the first semester. All classes must be at 100% complete with a passing grade and no zeroes on assignments in order to get credit for the class. Please make sure to monitor your students progress in all their classes using the weekly report you receive. We are trying to finish up District assessments next week.

Florida center for reading resources is a collection of research based/teacher created Student Center Activities for use in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade classrooms. The activities are designed for students to practice, demonstrate, and extend their learning of what has already been taught, sometimes with teacher assistance and sometimes independently. Students can complete the activities in small groups, pairs, or individually.

Accompanying these Student Center Activities is a Teacher Resource Guide that offers important insights on differentiated instruction and how to use the Student Center materials.
