Dear Grizzly Bears Parents,

We’ve had a great transition into the new school year in August. The kids reviewed what they learned last school year. They also explored the Pre-K learning toys/tools that we have and learned about the new classroom routines, rules, and daily activity schedules. We really appreciate you being involved in your kid’s learning and helping them make the All About Me poster and the Tell Bag. The kids were very confident and enjoyed talking about themselves and their favorite items in front of the class.
