5th Grade at Bear Creek Elementary
Week 7 - October 19th - October 23rd
Dear Families,
This week, we welcomed back more 5th grade cubs to the building. If you child is in the building, please make sure they have a mask, working device and headphones. They will also need a pencil bag/pouch and journals for each subject.
This week we will get to join a zoom to see a performance from the Austin Jazz Workshop. We will add the zoom link to the 5th grade website for all to view. We will also discuss middle school options this week. Every year, middle schools come to visit 5th graders to promote the amazing programs that they offer. All of this will be done virtually (pre-recorded videos, zoom meeting, etc.). Check the attachments in this s'more for more information.
Sincerely,
Ms. Harmon and Mr. Linnell
