The Bruins in Ms. Mistler's class had a blast recently practicing phonics and team building. They used shaving cream to practice their phonics skills. And, they used index cards to work on team building. Way to go Bruins! Paws up!

We have been celebrating Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September. Our Baby Bruins were inspired this week by the story of Mighty Nate. We wore gold and gold ribbons today to show support for awareness, research, and sharing hope for a cure!

Shout out to our Shining Star Bruins. They were recognized on the morning announcements this week for "Being a Bruin"! These students were the first to earn a place on the Bruin 100 Wall in a randomly selected spot. When their row is full, they will all earn a special prize. So exciting!

"Being a Bruin" has special meaning at WBP! "Being a Bruin" means we make good choices. This week Baby Bruins were reminded how important it is to "Be a Bruin" every day through conduct and behavior assemblies. #StrongStart

Students from Mrs. Denius' class visited the courtyard garden today. They were able to observe the seeds that they planted last spring as First Graders growing into fruit-producing fruits and vegetables! They even got to meet a real Very Hungry Caterpillar! #Empower2030 @ericcarle
