Bedtime Stories Was A Huge Success!

Thanks to all who made it to Bedtime Stories last night! 
A great time was had by all!!  
We were so pleased with the number of families that were able to make it as well.  
Enjoy the slideshow and video that show some of the highlights.


  In closing, I would like to give a shout out to the many BAK staff members that were there. 
Your time and dedication do not go unnoticed!

For the safety of our children...

You will see these signs posted on the doors that students enter.  Please be sure you are signing in at the office when coming into BAK, even if you are just walking your child to class.

Thank you for your help with this.

Reading Recovery...


Here are some photos from my Reading Recovery observation today. You will see the detailed notes that Mrs. Ashbacher takes as the Reading Recovery teacher!



One of the components of Reading Recovery is working on quick response time.  Here you will see John quickly sort magnetic letters into groups.



Writing is another component of the Reading Recovery program.  John developed his sentence, and in this video you see him working to put the sentence in his journal.  Mrs. Ashbacher is keeping track of the words that he knows without help, and also prompts him to practice words that may be tricky.


After John got his sentence written in his journal, Mrs. Ashbacher wrote the sentence on a sentence strip, cut each word out individually, and John had to rearrange.

B.A. Kennedy is very fortunate to have the Reading Recovery program! 

Winter Concert Info



There have been some questions about the B.A. Kennedy Winter Concert date for kindergarten & 1st grade students.  The concert date is Thursday, December 12th, 2013 at 5:30pm.  This is an exciting night for our students, so we hope to see you all there! Look for more information from your child's music teacher in the near future.

We Love Improving Our Reading...


Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) is an intervention that 1st grade students at BAK are a part of this year.
It is exciting to see students making connections and progressing in their reading and writing skills and abilities!


1st Grade Hospital Visit

1st grade students got to take a trip to the new hospital building site last week! This was a very special trip arranged by Mrs. Mink. 1st grade students have been learning about building in their current reading unit, so it was super exciting for students to see some of their vocabulary words and other learning in action! 

A special thanks goes out to Mrs. Mink for coordinating, Sasha Dull from Prairie du Chien Memorial Hospital, and Tyler from Market and Johnson for a great morning at the new hospital site!
