This week in art class, third grade students learned about the Spanish artist Joan Miro. Students then worked in teams to create a collaborative painting inspired by Miro! They worked so hard, and it shows in the completed works of art!

Congratulations to February's Bobcats of the month! Keep up the great work, Bobcats!
Students from Mrs. Chiellini's class created time capsules for their 1,000th day of school. In another 1,000 days of school, students will open them up again when they are juniors in high school!
Students in Mrs. Hopson's class created fractions on a number line using twizzlers and playdough. Using fractions, students even made their own play dough with flour, salt, and water!
Ms. Darienzo's class did a mid-year math recap where students retaught an important skill that they've covered during the school year. Here, students from one group are presenting on subtracting mixed numbers!
We are excited to announce the winner of the Bogert School Spelling Bee. The bee lasted 25 rounds, with several rounds going off the scripted word list. After a fierce back and forth final round against our 2nd place finisher, who was Ninaad in 4th grade, 5th grader Inika was crowned as the 2026 Bogert School Champion (her championship word was, "delectation"). This is her second time as our school champion. We wish her luck at the NJ state regional spelling bee in March. We are very proud of ALL of the participants, no matter how far they made it in the competition!
The Leo Club is collecting new and gently used books and blankets for Oasis, an organization in Paterson that supports women and children facing poverty. The drive will run from February 2 through February 13.

This week, students from the Leo club worked on cards that will be sent to the residents of an assisted living home.
This week was School Counselor Appreciation Week. Ms. Senger does so much for both the students and the school. To show our appreciation, students worked together in their homerooms to share the many reasons why we love her. Their thoughts were compiled into a large poster that is proudly displayed outside her office. Thank you, Ms. Senger, for all that you do!
This week, 4th grade students participated in Bobcat Book Buddies. This is where students from Bogert read to students in Reynolds. The students did a great job and loved being able to participate in this event!
