BUTTERFLIES INCOMING

The much anticipated butterfly cycle project will be started this month. Students will have the opportunity to observe the growth cycle of a butterfly! We’ll watch and learn together about what it  means to go through “metamorphosis”
OUTDOOR EXPLORATION SHOW & TELL –  05/24 

We ask that each Brown Bear spend some time outside exploring with family and/or friends to find an interesting item for circle time in class. The item has to be natural (leaf, stick, rocks, etc). We encourage them to look for bugs as well! If it is a bug/insect/other creature, have them take a picture of what they find to bring to class 🙂  

We’ll take pictures/video during the show & tell to share with you through Procare! 
PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH US

As always, we encourage for families to bring any interesting books to class especially if they match with the theme. If you go on any hikes or adventures with the students take pictures to share with the class! Students love having the opportunity to teach and be in the spotlight 🙂

Thank you for all your support! We appreciate our Brown Bear families!  – M & B
