Pre-kindergarten students and Happy Bear share a moment together
Happy Bear visited Mrs. Alexander's preschool classroom at Abingdon Elementary! The students were very happy to see him! He was a little shy at first, but we welcomed him, and he quickly warmed up to our smiling faces. Happy Bear, along with Ms. Marcia, talked to us about his school day - and it sounded a lot like ours! Happy Bear helped us to know the difference between a wanted touch - like a hug from mom or a friend and an unwelcome touch - like when someone hits you on the playground. Happy Bear offered each student a high five or a hug at the end of the lesson! We really enjoyed meeting Happy Bear and hope to see him again! This program was presented by the Children's Advocacy Center of Bristol/Washington County, Virginia. Contact them for Happy Bear to visit your classroom or for more information.
