Throughout late Fall, local news sources have confirmed that we are
\nexperiencing brown bear sightings later than usual. Bears have been
\nobserved near the buses, on the playground, and even in the classrooms!
\nPlayers from Kenai’s very own Brown Bear hockey team are actively
\nvolunteering in a variety of settings throughout Mountain View.
\nAs an active part of our community, the Bears have a specific focus on
\nadvancing learning and building connections with our students. They are
\nworking diligently with our teachers and administrators to ensure that they are
\nsupporting instruction where they can. The players are engaged with our
\nstudents on the playground in a \u201ccontrolled fun atmosphere.\u201d The most
\npopular activities include running around the playground, four square,
\nbasketball, and hanging on the bars together. They are also seen during
\nlunch, in multiple classrooms teaching reading groups, working on persuasive
\nwriting pieces, helping students sharpen their math skills, painting with Pre-K,
\nand learning about the brain with 3rd and 4th graders! Who knew that a four
\nsquare game at recess would involve conversations about geography and
\nhow amazing our brain is? Notable quotes from students have included,
\n\u201cDon\u2019t let your amygdala take control! Your prefrontal cortex is in charge!\u201d and
\n\u201cIf you\u2019re from Canada, isn\u2019t that the same as California?\u201d
\nWe would like to thank the Kenai River Brown Bears for spending time
\nwithin our school community. Go Bears! Aside from working in our building,
\nthere are opportunities to see them out on the ice for the next several weeks:
