A Message from BCE PE:
Hello Bear Creek Families!
WOW!!! Once again, the Bear Creek students absolutely crushed wearing red last week!!!
Beginning last Wednesday, the Booseterthon team gives their daily announcement at the beginning of each classes special class and then we break off into our lesson for the day.
Last week our 3-5 grade students were participating in a Parkour Explore lesson where we went to the courtyard and they worked together to find ways to use their parkour skills in that environment. The students were super creative and showed some great skill work and cooperation!!
Our K-2 students took some time to head out to our bus ramp to do 5-7minutes of laps to see get an idea what Friday's Cub Run will be like.
This week all of our classes will head to do some laps after their assemble and then we'll bring the PE lesson back to the gym to continue our conversations on sleep and stress management :)
We wish you all a very happy, healthy, and safe spring break!! Returning from the break we will have a student favorite game day including Battleship and then will move into our 4th nine weeks of PE curriculum.
Thank you for your continued support!
Ms. Schultz and Ms. Hazard
