A Note From the Coaches

About This Site
This site was created to share information about what our school has been learning this year about the Teddy Bear. Our school mascot is a CUB. Our school decided to adopt the Teddy Bear as our Cub because of what the Teddy Bear represents. The Teddy Bear represents love and friendship. The Teddy Bear is loved by everyone! As you may know (or have learned from this site), Teddy turned 100 in November. We have been celebrating Teddy's Anniversary throughout this school year.

The following Georgia QCC objectives were used in creating this site. The site creators learned a lot about the research process and hope visitors will learn something about how our cuddly friends came to be.

Thanks for visiting!!
