Welcome to December Brown Bears

Our 2025 is coming to an end and we’ve reached the middle of the school year! This month we’ll be exploring Winter and the water cycle. What changes do we see in Winter? Where does our water come from?

This month, we’ll also be getting a lot of practice with things like zippers, buttons, and changing in/out of Winter attire.

Math: #’s 11-15

Literacy: G + H

Social emotional: self help and patience
HOLIDAY CONCERT – DEC 12TH @ 6:30PM

We’re so excited to show you the performance we’ve been working on! The event will take place at the American Legion at 6:30PM. We have a special guest and holiday treats will be served for families.

Students will wait with their teachers and class  until their performance is done. Please make sure that students come in with their green elf costume already on as there isn’t a changing room. We look forward to seeing you there!
