Fox and Bear Community

This week we are finishing our study of invertebrates with a close look at arthropods and worms.  These intriguing creatures make up a large percentage of our total animal population and the kids have been excited to complete choice board activities related to this special group of animals.  Next week we will begin our introduction into the vertebrate world!

We are excited to welcome back many students the week of February 22nd.  Those families that have newly asked for their child to return will be notified as soon as we know our space availability.  County information including cohort calendars can be found by clicking the link below.

We've had more involvement during office hour this week!  It's wonderful to help the children plan their days and chat about work.  Please encourage your child to join us anytime!

The writing contest below is open to all children from kindergarten to third grade!  Please click on the link below to see the guidelines!
