Come explore the Earth Dome — a unique journey through our amazing planet!
The Earth Dome is a gigantic inflatable earth balloon standing 19-feet high and 22-feet in diameter. It's made of 24 huge panels silkscreened with photographs shot from satellites of the surface of the world on cloud free days. It has been used extensively across the United States to educate students about geography as well as environmental issues.
They will see and better understand the scale of concepts such as continents, time zones, latitude, longitude, and more! Even major cities will be recognized in comparison to the total earth. Although the visit to The Earth Dome is just a 30-minute assembly, seeing and understanding the Earth as it appears from space, as opposed to painted globes or drawings, is an experience not soon forgotten.

🤩🎉Congratulations to Kelly Bleess and Jim Wirkus, winners of the K-7 Buc Pride Awards for March! Both were nominated by multiple colleagues for their efforts and leadership.
Here are a few of the comments below to highlight them.
Mrs. Jahnke:
⭐️I would like to nominate Mrs. Jahnke, she is an awesome teacher. She shows great leadership and has such dedication for her students. She shows discipline in a kind and compassionate way. Mrs. Jahnke also has a lot of fun with her students and they enjoy her very much. As I do. She is one of the best. She is a great role model for her colleagues and students. She is very deserving of this award.
⭐️I nominate Sam for this award due to her fun personality with her students. She gives so much of herself to make sure that her students are learning and having fun at the same time. She leaves no student unrecognized and acknowledges and praises them for the hard work. Sam listens to her students with compassion and strength to help them through their school day. I appreciate all that does and goes beyond!
⭐️Sam Jahnke is a positive ray of sunshine. She comes into work early every day and often stays late too. She is always looking for ways to engage her students in positive ways and carries that same passion of positivity to staff members. Those that know Sam know she takes extra time to make everyone feel special and appreciated.
Mrs. Eckles:
⭐️Theresa creates opportunities for her students to be successful and experience love and care and fun while they are learning! She makes connections with students and staff and is intentional about making BEA the best and showing BUC PRIDE every day.
⭐️She has been a fantastic leader for our all new second grade team. She has made sure that we all have the curriculum materials/resources needed, given support when needed, and has made sure to consistently check in with us all!
⭐️Mrs. Eckles never misses a chance to try something new or different if it will make things better for her students. She is frequently here late into the afternoon because she's a firm believer that if something needs to be done for kids, then it's worth doing well.
