Our day back was a busy one, and here at Bear Creek we celebrated Halloween by having Wacky Hair Day. Unfortunately because of the two days off due to the bad weather many of our friends didn't remember this particular spirit day. But we did have a few people who were all decked out with some pretty Wacky Hair - even the crazy teachers!! Check out the slideshow below for some cool dos!

Wacky Hair Day
It sure was nice to see everybody's smiling faces back today after our eventful last couple of days. I hope that everybody's families, friends and homes made it safely through Hurricane Sandy with little or no damage. Compared to other locations just a few hours away we certainly can consider ourselves very lucky.

Crazy Hair and Science Tools
The first three days of our week have been very eventful! On Tuesday, we celebrated the fact that Bear Creek earned $1,000 in school supplies from the Avery contest. Our school finished 15th out of over 9,000 schools! Last year Dr. Spagnolo and Mr. Kingsborough promised to have colored hair if we were one of the top schools so Tuesday they fulfilled their end of the bargain. Dr. Spagnolo had green hair and eyelashes, and Mr. Kingsborough had a pink beard and mustache to go along with his pink hair and eyelashes. Unfortunately we didn't get a picture with Mr. Kingsborough, but some of us were lucky enough to get our picture taken with Dr. Spagnolo!
We have been finishing up our writing pieces about the scientific process, but we are already looking at our next science topic: the tools that we will use this year when we're completing experiments! During the past week students in the 4th grade classes visited the science lab for one period. During this time we tried out many different tools, talked about how they were the same and how they were different and learned about the job of each tool.
Check out the slideshow below to see some of us in action in the lab getting acquainted with these tools and how they are used:

Homecoming, No School & Book Fair
Hello Kit Kat Families!
Can you believe that it is already October? It doesn't seem possible that we have been in school over a month already! We have had or will be having some special events, and we wanted to take just a few minutes to tell you about them.
Yesterday afternoon band members, football players, cheerleaders and The Bear came to visit Bear Creek for a pep really. As you can see from the pictures we all had a great time cheering on the team and clapping along to the music. We were also very proud and excited because Team Kit Kat's very own Ian was chosen to be the 4th grade representative at the game tonight! Congratulations, Ian!!!
Team Kit Kat also had another excited winner today when Emma B.'s name was randomly chosen as the Box Top winner for the month of September! Emma got a coupon to buy some books at the book fair! Congratulations, Emma!
Tonight (10/5) - Tonight is Bear Creek Night at the E-town Bears football game, and it is also Homecoming. On Tuesday your child received a blue coupon for free admission to the football game so we hope that you will be able to come out and join us as we cheer on the football team.
10/8 - As one of our Mini Kit Kats said today, "Thank you, Christopher Columbus!" Your child does not have school on Monday, October 8 due to the celebration of Columbus day. School will be back in full swing, and it will be Day 5.
10/9 - 10/11 - Next week the Book Fair will be continuing here at Bear Creek. Students will be able to shop during their library times to pick from a variety of amazing books. There will also be another family night on Thursday, October 11, so you can come in and get some books with your child.
One last thank you to everybody who sent in change for the Penny Wars. Bear Creek raised an amazing $918 for the capital campaign! Way to go! 4th grade made a respectable showing and came in second place behind 5th grade.
Thanks to all of our team Kit Kat families for all of your support throughout this first month of school!
