A Sloth of Black Bears
Celebrating Our Black Bear Community!
On Monday, we came together in our multiage groups to celebrate the Pierce community. Students became chipmunks for the day as they “scurried” through four learning centers.
In Mrs. Sutton’s center, students transformed into our furry neighbors while playing chipmunk-themed games. They then darted to Ms. Besson’s room to watch engaging informational videos. With Mrs. Germain, they engineered miniature catapults and launched “acorns” at a target, experimenting with variables to see which design worked best and practicing a growth mindset along the way. Finally, students created placemats for their tables, listing all the things they are thankful for with Mrs. Powell.
At Pierce, we are truly thankful for the amazing Bennington community that continues to support our students’ learning and growth.

So excited to be sending home another at home literacy activity! We have traditional dominoes game with initial sounds! We practiced in school so the kinders should know all of the pictures. There is also a checklist for Mrs.Pope’s treasure chest!

Announcing the New Sensory Path
Pierce School is offering a sensory walk as a way for students to take a break and quickly refocus. This opportunity allows them to refresh, get their bodies moving, and return to learning with improved focus. Carefully selected activities along the walk also help activate different parts of the brain, supporting students in resetting their thinking. By the time they return to class, they feel recharged and ready to learn. Ask your student about their favorite part of the walk today!
