Scan Code

I have created a new Barcode Scan so that my students, parents, and other teachers can use their smart phone to scan this barcode and be immediately directed to my blog.

Using barcodes in the classroom is a great way to jazz up your student's online presentation, blog, or website. The students can pass out fliers to parents and other teachers that have their barcode they have created on it. The parents and teachers then scan the barcode with their smart phone and are taken directly to the student's online work.

Upcoming 7th Graders

As the school year begins to come closer to an end, we thought it would be a good idea to post an informational video on how to open a locker at BCMS. Enjoy and we look forward to having new Knights!

Shoe Magic

This is a neat little trick where your shoe size can determine your age.

1. Start with your shoe size... if it's a 1/2 size round up.
2. Multiply that number by 5
3. Add 50.
4. Multiply by 20.
5. Add 1013.
6. Subtract the year you were born.

The first two (or one) digits are your shoe size, and the last two digits are your age.

Gifted Parents

I have attached a link to an article that I ran across dealing with research on parents and families of gifted children. I found some of these statistics intriguing which made me think how this research correlates with my own gifted students.
