The teddy bears have arrived!

"They're here!" the students chorused as Mrs. Gibbas opened up the box filled with the long awaited teddy bears.  

Today marked the official beginning of the Teddy Bear project, a long standing tradition at Proctor Elementary School.  By taking part in the Teddy Bear project, students get the opportunity to learn about the regions of the United States in a unique way.  Students' teddy bears travel to different regions of the United States and send back postcards, souvenirs, and letters to describe their travels.

The Teddy Bear Project addresses the following Massachusetts Social Studies standards.
