The beginning of December has brought a lot of challenges to BCCAL. We have currently done the following this month in class:

  • Our class was recruited to help with the set design of the Fall school play: Noises Off. While most of the building and such was done by volunteers, we used our class time to create paintings that would be eye-catching and on theme for the home of the main characters.

November, 2024

The beginning of November has brought a lot of challenges to BCCAL. We have currently done the following this month in class:

  • Our website is almost complete! We have been working on gathering photos, setting up the website, and creating articles.
  • In honor of National Novel Writing Month, we have begun our in-class novel, James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small. We are examining ways that this young veterinarian’s journeys in rural Yorkshire compare to our experiences in our own rural town.
  • We created Papel Picado in honor of our Spanish department and the community celebration of Dia De Los Muertos. Peep our work in one of the display cases around the school.
