Welcome to the Bair's Den

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Bair's Den! I'm looking forward to have each of you in my class, and I'm very excited to see what this school year has in store for us. It's my hope that all of you will very quickly enjoy the new adventure that is Bear Creek. Please check back here often to see what is happening in our classroom. There is also a page that will help you review the math skills we are learning in class!

All 4th graders each lunch from 12:40 - 1:10, so students are welcome to bring healthy snacks to eat in the morning. I do frequently have snacks for those students who forget or cannot bring their own, and I do appreciate any donations. Favorite snacks in the past have included pretzels, goldfish, cheez-its, and fruit snacks.

Our daily schedule for my homeroom students (students assigned to me for math and science in the morning) looks like this:

9:00 - 11:25 ~ Math and Science with a bathroom and snack break in the middle
11:25 - 12:10 ~ Special
12:10 - 12:40 ~ Clinic / bear time
12:40 - 1:25 ~ Lunch and recess
1:25 - 3:30 ~ ELA classes with Mrs. Horner or Mrs. Towsen
3:30 ~ Dismissal

Our special schedule follows a 6 day cycle and looks like this:

Day 1 ~ Phys Ed
Day 2 ~ Library
Day 3 ~ Technology
Day 4 ~ Phys Ed
Day 5 ~ Music
Day 6 ~ Art

Students will also have the opportunity to play and instrument, and those schedules will also follow a cycle day schedule once they are set by Mrs. Emery and Mr. McLaughlin.

As you can see, we do have Phys Ed the first day of school, so don't forget to wear your sneakers or bring a change of clothing with sneakers if you have a special outfit already picked out for the first day!

I can't wait to begin our year together!
