Dear Pre-K Families,

This weekend we are issuing a special challenge! The top grade level will get to water balloon attack the Booster team! Check out mybooster.com for details. Thank you for your continued support so far!


And if you're looking for the easiest way to ask for a donation, upload a photo of your student to MYBOOSTER.COM to create a fun video starring your student WITH YouTube Trick-Shot Stars 🏀 Dude Perfect! 🏀 Share this on Facebook or via email or text to easily ask for a donation. Thank you again for supporting our class and school!


Love,

Ms. Cottingham and Ms. Dalton

Our Weekly Focus

Theme: Crawling Critters

Weekly Focus: Amazing Critters

  • Learned all about the letter Xx

  • Read books about insects that crawl

  • Wrote about bugs that can crawl

  • Conducted experiments to show the colors of the rainbow

  • Listened to a story about Amelia Earhart and discussed how she showed courage

  • Discussed things we would like to find at the end of a rainbow

  • Learned about symbols used in simple addition problems and practiced reading number sentences

  • Added ladybug larvae into our ladybug habitats

Letter Challenge

As the weekly letter becomes harder to find in the "real world", we ask that you encourage your children to find the actual letter on any labels or books seen in your home or the outside world. If your child finds the weekly letter, please take a picture and email it to their teacher. Students are always excited to share their findings with their peers! We will continue this challenge each week!

Message from Mrs. Lewis about Registration for the 2025-2026 School Year

Interested in Bear Creek's lottery-based Kindergarten Dual Language Program?

Now is the time to complete your priority registration for this program using the Enroll Austin online registration system. Priority registration ends February 4, 2025. Applicants will be notified of lottery results by March 14. To register for the Kinder dual language lottery, you will choose the 2nd registration option, "Your student would like to apply to another school or to a different application-based program". Next you will choose Bear Creek Kinder Dual Language. If you do not get a spot in the lottery, you can try again for kinder dual language when general registration opens April 1 or register for non-dual language Kinder.


Returning to Bear Creek for the 2025-2026 School year?

Please help with staffing our campus appropriately for the upcoming school year by registering by February 4th!
