Dear Bullard Families,
As many of you know, we began a new end of the year assessment here in state called the Georgia
Milestones, End of Grade (EOG) Assessment. The Georgia Milestones Assessment System is a
summative assessment program spanning grades 3 through high school. The Milestones measure how
well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards
in Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Students in grades 3–5 take an EOG
assessment in each content area.
Georgia Milestones are designed to provide students and their parents with critical information
about the students’ achievement and, importantly, their preparedness for the next educational
level. The assessment system is a critical informant of the state’s accountability measure, the
College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI), providing an important gauge about the
quality of the educational services and opportunities provided throughout the state. Results of the
assessments are used to identify students failing to achieve mastery of content, to provide educators
with feedback about instructional practice, and to assist school districts in identifying strengths and
weaknesses in order to establish priorities in planning educational programs.
We received the results from the spring 2015 test at the end of November. The Georgia
Milestones are not comparable to the Criterion Referenced Competency Test (CRCT), the former
state assessment. However, we found that Bullard Elementary 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students scored
higher than the county and state averages in each content area. Although we are happy with that
accomplishment, we continue to review data in every aspect of our student population and work to
increase student achievement.
As always a partnership between home and school is vital to the success of our students. We
appreciate the support you provide.
Sincerely,
Patrice Moore, Ed.D.

Happy February!
I thought you might be interested to know
about some of the mindful practices we’re
incorporating at Bullard with our staff and
students. Perhaps you’ve heard of the term,
“Mindfulness”; but you really don’t know what it
means. It’s definitely a term that is being used a lot
these days in the media.
Yahoo, Google, Harvard Business School’s
Master’s Program, and numerous school districts in
California and Massachusetts have all incorporated
mindful times into their daily schedules or
programs. Those participating on a regular basis
report more satisfaction with the work
environment, sleep patterns, and the ability to
handle stressful situations better. Schools report a
decrease in disruptive behaviors and an increase in
student achievement. Mindfulness is all about
calming your mind in the present moment.
It is our belief that all students benefit
from movement or quiet practice. Bullard began
incorporating mindful practices last year by piping
music through the hallways, and decorating and
painting to add to the warmth of our environment.
We’ve seen an increase in the number of
classrooms this year that are taking time to give
their students mindful breaks in the day. We
have a dedicated room for staff that we have
named “Australia”. It’s a place for staff to go
during their planning to relax and rejuvenate.
The room is softly lit with lamps and Himalayan
salt lamps. Soft music, diffusers, and fountains
give the impression that they’re a world away.
It gives them a few minutes to take a few deep
breaths, color mandalas, or play with kinetic
sand. Two of our teachers also redecorated our
mailroom to make it more inviting as well. Our
staff members are able to now pick up a bottle
of water or use the Keurig if they need it.
We have teachers on every grade level
who incorporate yoga sequences, mindful quiet
time, and/or mandalas throughout the day. This
not only addresses the students’ needs to relax
their mind and focus their thoughts, but it also
has them up and moving.
We’re very excited about the positive
changes we’re seeing, and we look forward to
many more!

Winter in Kindergarten is so much fun! We celebrated the
100th day of school with lots of fun activities. We are so
proud of our students and what they can do with the
number 100! We learned all about Martin Luther King, Jr.
and we are now getting ready for some Valentine
celebrations.
Remember that we will be out of school February 1519.

First Grade News
First graders have spent the last few weeks learning
about our Earth’s continents & oceans. Harriet
Tubman’s adventures on the Underground Railroad
rated #1 with the children. In math, we are working
hard at balancing equations, mentally adding 10 more
and 10 less, comparing numbers, and problem solving.
Keep working on sight words as we are aiming for 200
by the end of the year in reading. In writing, the
children are forming opinions and supporting
them with quality reasoning. Lastly, we will
become botanists as we study plants. 3rd quarter
rocks!
The First Grade Team
Second Grade News
2nd grade is looking forward to our performing arts trip to
see Sleeping Beauty at the Cobb Energy Center on
February 10! Our friends from Wellstar will also be
visiting on February 4-5 to talk about Smile Power! They
will help us learn how to properly take care of our teeth and
the importance of dental hygiene. In math this quarter, we
are learning all about addition and subtracting with
regrouping, identifying and counting money, and working
through one and two step word problems. We will be
learning all about Martin Luther King Jr. and Jackie
Robinson for social studies. Our science unit this
quarter includes space and shadows, how exciting!
During our reading time, we will be recounting
stories and comparing and contrasting fairy tales and
informational texts. Our writing focus this quarter is
opinion writing. We cannot wait to see all the
opinions our second graders have to share!
The Second Grade Team
Third Grade News
After a restful winter break, third graders were ready
to start the New Year on the right foot! Our students spent
some time creating resolutions and goals for the New Year,
and are ready to continue their preparation of becoming
fantastic 4th graders! It will be here before we know it! Many
students resolved to continue learning their 0-12
multiplication facts, as well as increase their speed and
accuracy with the level requirement increases each facts they
do know! We are also dedicating ourselves to building our
reading stamina and fluency, as our grade quarter.
In Science this quarter, we get to learn about our
great state of Georgia and its’ habitats! We use that
knowledge to help us decide what plants and animals need to
adapt and thrive in certain environments, and what would
happen if our environment changes. Our Watershed
Performance in March will help reinforce the role that
humans play in protecting our planet. Third grade is also
excited for Science Day this quarter when we get to use The
Scientific Method to explore the world around us! We will
finish our 9 weeks with Social Studies.
We will continue our study of Famous Americans
when we learn about Mary McLeod Bethune, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, and Eleanor Roosevelt. Students will also practice
our map skills and identify the Mississippi, Ohio, Rio Grande,
Colorado, and Hudson Rivers. We will reinforce our economics
standards as we discuss the 4 types of productive resources
(natural, human, capital, entrepreneurship). These will
come in handy as we prepare for Economics Day in a few
months!
In English/Language Arts, we continue to work on
our Informational and Narrative writing skills. As we read,
we are focusing on describing characters in stories and
explaining how each character influences the plot. We are
also learning to compare and contrast themes, settings, and
plots of stories written by the same author. It is very
important to make text-to-text connections during this
quarter!
In Math, we have introduced…Fractions! Third
graders are understanding that a fraction means a “part of a
whole.” We will continue to practice multiplication and
division strategies to help us solve problems. Checking our
answers using mental math and estimating strategies is
another important skill this quarter. We will also introduce
algebra, where we replace a number with a letter or symbol
and solve for the unknown. We are very proud of the growth
third graders have made in math!
We can’t wait to continue to push ourselves and
grow as 3rd grade learners and leaders in the New Year!

Fourth Grade News
Our students are staying focused on a daily basis as we
continue to cover the standards for 4th grade in each
subject area. During the third nine weeks, we have
been learning about different reading strategies and
writing skills in Language Arts. We will be learning
various math concepts including Fractions and
Geometry. In addition, we are building the kids
knowledge of problem solving strategies that will be
useful in the real world. We are journeying out of this world
with our exploration of the Solar System. Students will be
working on their VIP projects to help reinforce historical
people in Social Studies. Please continue to help your child
review some of the concepts we have covered in class at
home, as well as practice multiplication facts. Thank you
again for all of your support so far this year!
The Fourth Grade Team
Fifth Grade News
Fifth grade is excited to be starting their last semester at
Bullard before heading off to Middle School! We still
have a great deal of learning to do before the Milestones,
and are confident that our students are ready for the
challenge.
Students participated in Human Growth and Development
classes in January and as expected they all survived! Fifth
graders take pride in participating in Bullard’s Writing
Fair, and we look forward to all of the writing pieces our
5th graders will create. We are also looking forward to
Bullard’s Annual Science Day on March 4, and
experiencing many hands on standards based activities.
During the 3rd quarter, we will continue to review and
practice previously learned Math skills and concepts, but
will focus on: understanding the attributes of and
classifying 2D figures, volume, converting measurements,
and all operations with decimals.
In Social Studies we will continue to move through history
and study WWI, the Jazz Age, the Great Depression,
WWII, and the Cold War. Our focus will be on key people and
events (cause and effect).
In Science, students will investigate electricity, magnetism,
and their relationship. We will participate in several hands on
experiments to allow students to self-discover. Finally,
students will learn about cells (plant, animal, single-celled,
and multi-celled). Microscopes will be used to observe and
identify cells parts, as well as compare and contrast those
parts. Students will also relate how microorganisms benefit or
harm larger organisms.
In ELA, we will continue to focus on both literary text and
informational text. Students will use reading strategies to
quote accurately from a text when explaining what a text says
explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
Students will also continue writing in both informative and
narrative genres, as well as routine writing tasks that may
include reading response journals, open-ended questions, and
summaries.


Kindergarten – Our kindergarten students are celebrating Dr. King’s birthday by learning “Sing about Martin” and
“Bluebird”. These songs teach simple melodies, play party games, and rhythmic patterns. We will also read simple
notation including quarter notes and quarter rests using iconic notation.
First Grade – “Shortnin’ Bread”, “Bow, wow, wow” and “Valentine Dance” will be featured this nine weeks as we
learn about call response songs and reading traditional and non-traditional music notation. I’m especially looking
forward to our performance of one my favorite texts “Click Clack Moo.” Students will be reading, tracking, and
performing a rhythmic pattern to accompany this book.
Second Grade – I’m so proud of our second grade students and the work they have been doing to read melodic
notation. They are reading and writing melodies. We will continue to read patterns using the songs “Chinese Moon
Festival” and “Valentine Song.” We are looking forward to making connections to text using the book “Caps for Sale”
improvising simple rhythmic patterns and singing a repeated pattern to accompany the song.
Third Grade – We are devoting this nine weeks to learning the line and space notes on the treble clef staff in third
grade. We will play interactive games on the desktop computer, i-pads, and smart board; as well as traditional
playing, reading, matching, and a little treble clef twister.
Fourth Grade – Fourth graders will be improvising on Orff instrumentation as well as identifying instruments and
voices by sight, sound, and family. We’ll work on reading and notating melodic and rhythmic patterns. We’ve
started off this nine weeks by singing and learning about the Erie Canal. This song features a minor tonality on the
verse and a major tonality on the refrain and touches on both Social Study and music standards.
Fifth Grade – Parent information has been sent home about our upcoming musical performance of “Pirates!” Fifth
graders are using this musical to address notation of simple melodies, describing various musical genres, and
improvising pentatonic melodies. I’m looking forward to seeing you at our performances on March 24 th at our PTSA
meeting and April 16th at the Big Shanty Festival. We are so excited to share this musical with you.
Chorus – Chorus students have two exciting events coming up in February and March. They will be attending District
XII Large Group Performance Evaluation on February 25th singing before judges and will present a Spring Concert on
March 1st for friends and family at Bullard.

Counselors Corner
Your Dreams for Your Child’s Future
As parents you want to help make your child’s dreams come true. As
educators and counselors, we want that too. Children are greatly influenced
by the expectations we have for them. Successful Americans were asked in one
study what contributed to their success. Many responded that they succeeded
because their parents held high expectations for them. Believing in your child
and valuing his or her efforts can help your child succeed. Small steps like
setting aside a quiet place to study, ask questions about what he or she is
learning in school, encouraging reading at home can make a difference. When
your child leaves elementary school and goes to middle and high school, help
your child choose courses in school that lead to a specific goal. Keep track of
grades, and lend encouragement when the going gets tough. Become an
involved partner with your child’s school. The future of our young people
depends on the support and trust of those who care about them the most.
This message is brought to you by your professional school counselors.
Nurse Caroline’s Corner
Winter is here!! Hope everyone got their flu shots 
Reminder for 1st and 4th Grade Parents:
If you received a letter concerning a problem with your child’s hearing or vision, please make
sure you do a follow-up screening with a health care professional.
Colder weather means cleaning out those closets. If you have extra size 4-8 girls’ or boys’
pants, please send them in to the clinic. I am in desperate need!!
Reminder: Please do not send students in with medication!! All medication needs to be
brought to the clinic by an adult. Appropriate forms will be filled out in the clinic. Thanks
for your help with this. We want to keep all our students safe!!
Please check out my blog for all information pertaining to the clinic:

Hello Bulldogs! That first half of the school
year really flew by! Thanks to everyone
that supported our community outreach
projects in November and December. We
collected over 600 canned and boxed food
items to donate to Center for Family
Resources at Turkey Bingo. With our
Holiday Tree of Wishes, we were able to
help 10 families here at Bullard enjoy a
nice holiday. Thank you all for your
generous donations!
February and March bring our two big
science events to Bullard. Science Fair
Projects are due at the end of the month
on February 25th and 26th. All students that
participate are recognized and given a
special Science Fair Spirit Stick plus there
are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies for
winners in grades 3-5. Every student that
turns in a project will also be entered into
a drawing for 4 tickets to NCG Theaters.
The guidelines for projects can be found at
http://www.cobbk12.org/bullard/Science_
Fair.aspx. On March 4th, we will have our
Bullard Science Day. This is a fun and
educational day where students in all grade
levels get to participate in a variety of
science experiments. We need lots of help
that day in the classrooms. Keep your eyes
open for a chance to sign up and help on
this exciting day!
March also affords us the opportunity to
recognize all the hard work that the Bullard
teachers and staff do on a daily basis. We
will be holding our annual Bullard’s Best
Week from March 7th-11th as a way to show
our appreciation. There will be food and
fun little prizes for the faculty and staff
each day that week. Make sure to thank
teachers, custodians, cafeteria workers,
and all the office and support staff for the
wonderful job they do at Bullard!
There are many easy ways to help us fund
programs like Science Day and Bullard’s
Best Week. Box Tops, family nights, and
grocery store school cards are a few ways
that the PTSA raises money. We will be
having another Box Tops collection contest
in February. All Box Tops are due on
February 23rd to be entered in the winter
contest. Also, save those Labels for
Education off of Campbell’s, Pepperidge
Farm, and Swanson products for a
collection coming in April. Remember to
always use your Publix School Card and
Kroger Plus Card to help raise money for
Bullard simply by buying groceries. You
can contact me if you need a Publix School
Card and I’ll get you one right away. You
can check Bullard’s website or Facebook
page for dates and reminders regarding
upcoming family nights at local businesses.
Just by enjoying a night out with your
family, Bullard PTSA gets a percentage of
the proceeds from your meal. How easy is
that?!?
We now have a Schoola clothing collection
bin in the school’s front lobby to help you
turn your old clothing into cash for Bullard!
Collect good quality clothing for women
and children and place them in the bin.
That’s it. We then ship it to Schoola to be
sorted and sold on their website and
Bullard gets 40% of the profit. What a
great way to turn clothing you don’t need
any more into money for our school! You
can track our fundraising progress HERE.
I’d like to give a huge shout out to all the
awesome PTSA volunteers! It takes a great
team to put on all our events at Bullard.
We are always on the lookout for
volunteers. If you are interested in joining
our team, please email me at
