Kindergarten has had fun learning about shadows this week!
It’s never too late celebrate being a Cub Run Cub!
Here is the February Calendar!
Have you heard about Global School Play Day? CRES will be participating Wednesday, February 7! The plan is for students to PLAY ALL DAY - with the theme of "Restoring Unstructured Play To A Generation Of Kids."
Students are welcome to bring toys to school on this day! The only restriction is that these toys may NOT require batteries or electricity. In other words - no devices! Students can bring board games, dolls, Legos, blocks, cars, racetracks, playing cards, empty cardboard boxes, art supplies, jigsaw puzzles, blankets (for forts), social games (charades, Pictionary, etc.) and playground toys. Play will be happening indoors and outdoors throughout the day, so please make sure your children are dressed appropriately.
The value of play on children's social and emotional well-being is unparalleled, and children's free play has declined in our society over the past generations. Cub Run is excited to participate in the fun this year and help bring unstructured play back to our kids! https://globalschoolplayday.com/

Movie night is rescheduled to next week!
This was the perfect experiment before our little “snow break!” Mrs. Simmons’ first graders performed a “Blubber Glove” experiment on Friday. They learned about blubber, how it works, and why it is necessary for Arctic animals to have. This extra layer of fat helps them live, hunt and swim in the cold water temperatures of the Arctic!
CRES SCA Spirit Day January 22-26! Show your school spirit!
CRES Outreach Project for January!
Mrs. Wilt’s fifth graders held a virtual author visit with Ellen Potter. Mrs. Potter taught students how to gather ideas for writing, how to develop strong characters in their stories, and the importance of revisions. These students were so inspired they brought their writing journals to work on their stories at lunch!
Hikari represented Cub Run well last night in the county spelling bee! Hakari placed in the top 9! Way to go, Hakari! We are proud of you!
