BOOKS BRING US TOGETHER!
This fall we’re focusing on favorite series and characters, reconnecting with friends, and the unique power of books to bring us together!
Books make connections in all kinds of relationships – stories tie us together where-ever we are. Books inspire us to inspire each other. They motivate us to jump out of our seats to meet our favorite characters as they leap off the page toward us. They give us reason to support each other, to rally together as we build a foundation for a new generation of readers. Books are a window into exciting times ahead and we can’t wait to share them with you. Let’s turn a new page together!
Our Jungle Book Fair is November 15th-19th in person, on campus! J
· Book Fair will be open to students ALL day November 15th -18th. And until 12 p.m. on November 19th.
· Student preview days will be November 8th-12th.
E-Wallet
Due to COVID-19 precautions, our book fair will solely run through an E-Wallet for contactless payment.
Give your child a safe, cashless way to shop the Book Fair. This digital payment option can be used at the in-school Book Fair or online at the Virtual Book Fair, where you'll discover an expanded selection of over 5,000 products. Plus, every purchase benefits our school! Visit FAQs to learn more.
How It Works
- Create an account for each child
- Add funds...
- ...or invite family and friends to contribute
- Shop the Book Fair
- Spend unused funds online or fund an eWallet for your next Fair!
After the Fair, remaining eWallet funds are not returned to a credit card but instead, become a gift card balance that can be used online with Scholastic or to fund an eWallet for a future Book Fair. Be sure to sign in with the same email used to create the eWallet.

A Message From BCE PE:
Hello Bear Creek Families!
Last week our students worked on dribbling and passing skills for basketball, and this week we will add in basketball shooting. Our jump roping skills are also coming along and students will have an opportunity to participate in the very popular Jump Rope Ninja Challenge :)
We've been diving into the skeletal system the past couple of weeks, and will continue learning about the bones in the body this week. My Plate and Go-Slow-Whoa concepts will be introduced this week as we begin sprinkling nutrition into our PE lessons.
Students continue to use Plagnets to do a lot of self-assessment during this next quarter!
SKELETONS REQUESTED!
2nd nine weeks Skill Concepts:
Hand Dribbling and Shooting
Rhythms
In this unit, students will learn how to jump a self-turned rope and follow simple rhythm patterns while jumping a rope, and how to follow simple rhythm patterns (dance steps).
2nd NINE WEEKS HEALTH Concepts:
Skeletal System and Nutrition:
In these units, students will learn about the bones of the body, how to fuel their bodies through nutrition, how to hydrate their bodies, and how to care for the physical needs of their bodies.
Thank you for your continued support!
