Bacon Weekly - December 12 - 16, 2022

Band students getting ready for the concert 

Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in School) 

We had another amazing week at Bacon this week! Currently, our staff and students are focusing on the Second Step program. Second Step assists teachers and students with lessons on social and emotional learning with specifics such as empathy, cooperation and conflict resolution. As part of our school goal, each classroom will be exposed to 12 lessons over the course of the year. We want to thank Mrs. Gant and Mrs. Gandy for leading the staff meeting this month that focused on Second Step! 

Our staff also had our monthly professional development session on the ARC reading program. We continue to work on our conferencing, monitoring of reading levels and exposing students to a robust set of books to read. The ARC program has definitley been a welcomed initiative at Bacon! 

Mark your calendars

 Our Winter Concert is on December 19, 2022 at 6:00 PM. The concert will feature 4th and 5th graders in Band as well as students in 3, 4 and 5 in Chorus.

Bacon Weekly - December 5 - 9, 2022

We are excited about reading! 

Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in Schools) 

This week we transitioned from November into December! We ended the week on a very positive note with our Winter Family Dance coordinated by the PTO. The dance was such a big success that we are planning another one. We had over 280 people attend the dance and all of our Bacon Bears received a present of reading from the school. Each student received a book to help support our culture of reading at Bacon. Be sure to check out the movie that we made to commemorate the night. 

This week our staff will have their monthly professional development for the ARC program. We are really excited with the progress that our students and staff are making with the ARC program and we are seeing that it is making a difference with the reading that are students are doing.

Cooking with Mrs. Candy 

Alana Pagan was excited to be the first student to bring back Cooking with Ms. Candy by purchasing the session from collecting her Bear Bucks! She really got the hang of the pastry bag and of course lots of whipped cream! We are looking forward to having more students participate. We want to thank Mrs Candy for her positivity and leadership.
