Fall 2023 Activities
The college of Education and Health Sciences celebrated Universal Children's Day with the second grade students from the Central Elementary School.
The second grade students had an exciting morning at BSU. They had a wonderful time with author Paul Reynolds as he read Say Something written by his twin brother Peter Reynolds and they discussed how you can say something in so many different ways—by painting, by helping a friend, and by planting flowers. The children then split up into groups and worked with the BSU education students who created activities for the children to do centered around the Global Goals. When asked what they learned today one student said, “All about BSU”.

Arnone School Visits BSU
On March 20th students form the Arnone were able to hop on a bus and see the college campus and work with some students from an advanced Geography course. The BSU students had giant floor maps of various continents that they used to engage students. The 4th and 5th graders learned about various features of the maps, countries around the world, and of course narrowed it down to where they currently live. It was exciting and engaging because our kids were able to share and discuss places they were born or where their family comes from, places they have visited, and places they dream about going! We thank the BSU students and staff for inviting us and allowing our students to have such a great experience.

We underscored our day of activities and events with the cross-cutting themes of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. (www.globalgoals.org) and civic engagement. In the weeks leading up to the students’ trip to BSU, the 5th graders explored the goals and their impact in their community & the world.

Copies of one of his books, Go Green! was purchased for each of the classes participating. Also joining us were Dr. Sarah McQuarrie's Music Education students who composed a song to go with the theme and Paul Reynold's story, Go Green!. Dr. McQuarrie's students have collaborated with this event since its inception in 2016! Fifth graders also did theme-related learning activities with CEHS elementary education students. It was a wonderful day!
