🐻✨ Bear Necessities AI Enrichment – Mrs. Reeves’ Class ✨🐻
Mrs. Reeves’ AI Enrichment class had a fantastic time learning about pen pals through our online read-aloud of Dear Dragon 📚🐉
After enjoying the story, students became authors themselves by writing letters to their very own dragons and bringing them to life with colorful artwork. Creativity, imagination, and learning were on full display!
We are so proud of our students' thoughtful writing and artistic talents. Keep soaring, Bears! 🐻💛

🎄❤️ Bear Necessities After-School Program | Parental Involvement Night ❤️🎄
We loved welcoming our Bear families for a special Parental Involvement Night filled with Christmas cheer, creativity, and connection! Families enjoyed creating Christmas ornaments together, listening to music, and sharing the love of reading and learning through engaging activities with parents and children learning side-by-side.
Watching our students develop a love for learning while spending meaningful time with their families is what Bear Necessities is all about. Thank you to our amazing parents and students for making this night so special.

WCC Where Literacy Meets Life
📚✨ Grab Bag Book Talks: Resilience in Action ✨📚
In our latest Unit 3 literature circle project, students dove deep into the theme of Resilience through a powerful selection of books centered around the Holocaust. Working in small groups, students read and explored their chosen texts—then brought them to life in a whole new way.
💡 The Challenge?
Each group was tasked with presenting a Grab Bag Book Talk, choosing symbolic objects to represent major ideas, themes, characters, or turning points in their book. This encouraged deep text-to-text and text-to-world connections while pushing students to think metaphorically and present creatively.
👜 Some of the most powerful examples included:
A barbed wire strand to represent the brutal setting of a concentration camp
A broken mirror as a metaphor for shattered identity
A cracked compass symbolizing a character's lost sense of direction and faith
Our students blew us away with their insightful interpretations and creative presentations. Their ability to extract meaning, make connections, and present with passion reminds us once again how brightly our Bears shine—especially when given the chance to engage with literature in meaningful, hands-on ways.
We are so proud of their hearts, minds, and voices. 📖💬💛
