This week we visited Mrs. Workman's 3rd grade class. There is a lot of learning going on as Mrs. Workman and her student teacher Ms. McLoughlin are creating lessons to meet the individual needs of the kids. They have been establishing routines and rewarding students for their hard work!

Angel is ready for duty

Bacon Bears,

Just like that we are at the end of September. Time flies when you are having fun and our Bacon Bears are having fun. Throughout the month, we have worked very hard on establishing routines, setting the expectations and rewarding students for their AWESOME behavior.

Our staff is working tirelessly on making our school a family oriented experience for our students and parents. We hope that you feel the love as we take our learning to the next level! Each day on the announcements, Dr. Cook concludes with this message:

Most importantly, You are great this morning. We love to see you happy and we love to see you smiling. We want you to be happy today, tomorrow and in the future. And remember, Bacon Bears, if no one told you today that they loved you, know that we love you and will always love you.

We are preparing to bring back some timeless traditions this year since the pandemic has (hopefully) run its course. In October we will be having a Spooky Spirit Week and we will be hosting the Halloween Frolic on October 27 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM. This will be a Spooktacular evening with a Trunk or Treat, crafts, and the Haunted Walk.

Want to get involved?

Our first PTO and School Improvement Meeting for Parents will be at 6:00 PM on Monday, September 26, 2022. We will be having these combined School Improvement and PTO meetings once a month for the reminder of the year. Here is a link that will have agendas and future meeting dates. (Click here)

Kindergarten ARC - We are scientists - Mrs. Lunemann and Mrs. Banker's Room

This week we started ARC. It's about getting our kids to feel like scientists. We read the story Dinosaur Lady, talked about being good scientists when we read and write, watched a Mystery Doug on What are scientists, and then we BECAME scientists! We dissected owl pellets. As you can imagine the kids were super excited and had a blast! They are telling everyone they are real scientists. They discovered....., they found.... etc. What a great opening to get them excited and to buy into the new curriculum. Outside they were all about finding and discovering.
