A Message From The Library:
Happy New Year, Cubs!
I have two exciting things to share with everyone :)
The first thing is that Bear Creek will participate in its first ever Book Drive! Please see information below:
You might have heard some rumblings… The second exciting news to share with you is that my husband and I are expecting our first child, a boy due in June. We are so excited and can’t wait for him to eventually join the Bear Creek family!
Stay Warm,
Ms. Saenz
A Message from BCE PE:
Happy New Year Bear Creek Families!
It was SO FABULOUS getting to see the kiddos again! We are excited to get the new year started in PE! We are beginning our new units for the 3rd quarter of school. Our two skill units are Gymnastics/Parkour focusing on balance and jump & land and Volleying. Our two health concepts are the Muscular System and Sleep/Stress Management. The plan is to sprinkle all of these skills and concepts throughout the next nine weeks.
