Do you know what parts of your Thanksgiving feast will sink or float??? These 5th graders sure do! We wrote a hypothesis and did a test on 5 popular components of Thanksgiving dinner. Lots of fun, a few surprises, and no pie was harmed in our science lab! ๐ ๐ฅง๐ฆ ๐ฝ
Happy Thanksgiving!

We are super excited to announce that Breese Elementary School has once again earned 2023 Exemplary Status from the Illinois State Board of Education by continuing our top 10% ranking among all elementary schools in the State of Illinois. Additionally, we are so thankful for the efforts of the staff and students at Beckemeyer Elementary School as they continue to build a strong foundation prior to our students encountering official state testing in 3rd grade. Beckemeyer has been recognized as a Commendable School based on the metrics that are utilized to rank schools with 1st Grade being the highest grade level within the physical school building. Our 2023 ISBE recognition continues to highlight why Breese ESD #12 is one of the best elementary districts in the region and we are so thankful for the partnership that has been built and fostered between our students, staff, and families! The positive culture and high academic standards that exist in our schools make every day a โgreat day to be a bobcat!โ
Have a great weekend, everyone!
