Jean Baptiste Beaubien Elementary School: Clubs

Clubs

Academic Bowl
Academic Bowl Club is run by Mr. Major and is open to 6th, 7th and 8th graders. Beaubien is a consistent winner in this citywide competition. Just check out the banners in our main hallway!

The club runs for ten weeks and meets on Mondays from 1:45 to 2:45. In this club, students play quiz games with buzzers and learn a variety of facts. Five 7th and 8th grade club members are chosen to participate at the Region 1 Academic Bowl. In the Academic Bowl, a series of teams for various schools compete against each other for the championship and a chance to win the Citywide Academic Bowl. Even though 6th graders are excluded from being members of the Bowl team, it is a good experience for them and they will know what to do at the Bowl if they are chosen for the team next year.

Another part of being in Academic Bowl Club is the chance to participate in the individual math, speech, and writing competitions. There are two categories, intermediate and upper, one 6th grader being able to participate in the intermediate category and one 7th or 8th grader being able to participate in the upper category. For more information about Academic Bowl, also known as the Academic Olympics, get in touch with Mr. Major. You also can check out this site: http://www.oism.cps.k12.il.us/prog_ao_dates.shtml

Special Events and Activities Every month we celebrate the last Friday of the month with Activity Day. Teachers plan special projects and the students get to work with kids from other rooms. This gives us a chance to know people from other classes and learn some new things. The last Activity Day of the year is our annual Field Day. Parents and teachers run a variety of picnic style games such as balloon toss, a three legged race and obstacle races. Mrs. Solka coordinates this event and puts in a lot of hard work so that we can have fun.
