Bears Part 3: Bear Snores On and Teddy Bear Day!

The last and final week we spent time reading and retelling the story Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson.  I love all the Karma Wilson bear books!

We spent time on characters, setting, problem, solution, and events. Then we pulled out the paper mache caves we made! (see bear part 2 to find out more) We used paper cut out characters that I found free here.  As soon as they had all the pieces, you could them retelling the story all by themselves!  Once everyone was ready, I read the story as they acted it out with their characters and cave. They loved this!

To end our long and fun bear unit, we had Teddy Bear day! This was definitely a favorite!!  Everyone got to bring a teddy bear to school. (I had extras on hand)  Our teddy bears spent the whole day with us!

We wrote what we liked to do with our teddy bears.

We measured our teddy bears. 

And we took our teddy bears for a ride on the parachute.

Plus, our room looked super cute with teddy bears sitting at the tables.



Thanks for reading all about our bear fun!! I hope you can use some of these ideas!
