School is Closed

Just a reminder that school will be closed on Friday, August 31 and Monday, September 3 in observance of Labor Day. We hope that you and your family have a wonderful long weekend enjoying the unofficial end of summer!

Parent Night!

Just in case your child may have lost the paper between school and home, tomorrow night (Wednesday, August 29) is 4th Grade Parent Night! The program begins at 6:45 with a presentation about the school by Dr. Spagnolo and our PTO. Following that we will be meeting in your child's classroom to talk about 4th grade and life at Bear Creek.

After the opening presentation, you will report to your child's homeroom. You will have the chance to hear about all of the subject areas and visit with each teacher that your child has throughout the day.

Considering the great turnout we had for Open House last week we are very excited to meet many of you tomorrow evening. If you can't make it to the Open House, you can get any of the information you need by checking back here or by contacting your child's teacher via phone or email.

A Little Tour of Bear Creek

If you haven't had a chance to come to one of the orientation sessions, we thought it would be fun to give you a little tour of what you'll be seeing when you come to school next Tuesday! Let's take a look at our new school:

This is the main entrance to the school where you'll come in if you ride the bus or if your parents drop you off out front. If you walk to school on the walking path you'll come in the side of the building right next to our classroom!

These are three areas where you will have specials: the Instructional Media Center (IMC), or what we used to call the library, the gym and part of the music room. While the pictures may be a little dark you can see that these are big rooms where lots of learning and fun will take place!

These two pictures show you the stage and the cafeteria. You'll be eating lunch with the rest of the fourth graders, and we'll also come to assemblies with the rest of the fourth grade class. We sometimes have assemblies with part of 5th and 6th grade, it depends upon the schedule.

Our hallway is the first classroom hallway that you come to after passing the IMC and gym. Our walls have that amazing blue color, and you can't miss the giant 4! If you take the steps below the 4 they will take you to our hallway in the lower level.

And finally, these are pictures of our two new playground areaa. They are really amazing, and even the teachers had fun playing on them before our summer meeting! Many kids have had the chance to try them out during orientation, and they said the equipment is AWESOME!

We hope you have enjoyed this little tour. We are really looking forward to meeting some of you next Thursday at our Open Houses. If you can't make it, don't worry - we will have plenty of time to talk starting August 27th!

Welcome to Team Kit Kat!

Hi everybody, and welcome to Team Kit Kat! We are looking forward to having all of you in our classes, and we hope you are excited to be starting a new adventure at Bear Creek School!

Please check back here every day, and you will be able to find out a little bit more about our classroom, see some pictures (and maybe even a video!), and find out more about what our days will be like as a student on Team Kit Kat!

We're hoping that all of you will be able to come and join us on either Thursday, August 23 from 2:30 - 3:30 for our Open House. Come and see the school, visit the classroom, make your name tag, pick your first book, and meet some new friends. Parents and guardians, please put Wednesday evening, August 29 on your calendar. That evening we will be holding Parent Night for 4th grade parents, and we are all looking forward to meeting you and talking about the upcoming year.

We cannot wait for our new year together to begin!
