🐻 Bear Necessities: Interactive Learning for All!

Hands on, minds engaged! Through tactile manipulation and shape identification, students explore shapes by touching, moving, and comparing objects while strengthening fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and early math concepts. Learning through play creates meaningful opportunities for every learner! 🔷🔴🟨

🐻🐾 Bear Necessities: Helping Paws, Caring Hearts! 🐾🐻

Our Bear Necessities After-School Program’s Community Service Enrichment is partnering with local humane societies to help animals in need! Through this partnership, students are learning about compassion, responsible pet care, and the difference they can make by serving their community. ❤️

We’re proud of our Bears for extending kindness to our furry friends! 🐶🐱

**Kicking Our Way to Confidence, Discipline, and Success!** 💪🌟

Our WCC Bear Necessities After-School Program students are having a **KICK-tastic** time during Taekwondo enrichment! 🥋

Through this exciting hands-on experience, our students are learning more than just kicks and techniques. They are developing **self-discipline, respect, focus, confidence, and perseverance**—valuable life skills that extend far beyond the mat!

We love providing enrichment opportunities that encourage our Bears to try new things, challenge themselves, and grow both physically and mentally!

🐻❤️ **Strong Minds. Strong Bodies. Strong Bears!**

Moments like this make teaching the absolute best job in the world!

One sweet morning, one of our kindergarteners started the day off with the sweetest surprise—bringing his teacher a beautiful bouquet of flowers! Dressed in his finest cowboy hat and boots for Spirit Day, he proved chivalry isn't dead! We love seeing the sweet bonds built every day in our classrooms.

WCC 3rd graders on the carpet completely locked into their math vocabulary matching game! Mrs. Gardner showed the game cards up on the big screen using the document camera, and the energy in the room was contagious.

3rd grade has been mastering tricky math terms all year like expression, equation, factor, product, and area by connecting the words with their definitions and real examples. Who says learning math vocabulary can't be fun? 🔢🎉

Mrs. Crawford's 2nd Grade had so much fun practicing compound sentences and punctuation on this day!

We far surpassed our goal!!!!!
Because of your generosity, we are able to provide enriching experiences—from field trips to classroom projects and so much more—completely FREE for our students! Thank you for investing in our kids!!!

3rd Grade Sculpture Museum Walk - Student demonstrations and intractive exhibits

WCC Elementary is proud of these Golden Bears!!

Learning in action! 🎨⚙️ Mrs. Deeren’s third-grade class created hands-on sculptures while studying force and motion in science, exploring gravity, magnetism, and more. They transformed their classroom into an interactive museum, welcoming younger students with admission tickets to explore the exhibits and learn directly from our knowledgeable 3rd-grade presenters!

WCC wishes Mr. Smith a Happy Boss’s Day! Thank you for your amazing leadership, encouragement, and dedication. You inspire excellence, support those around you, and make a lasting difference every day! 🎉

Don't forget: Tomorrow (Friday, 10/16) is our Fall Break! Enjoy your 3-day weekend! We will see everyone again on Monday!
