Oh My...Bears!

The kiddos began learning about bears today.  Before we began we talked about schema.  They knew a lot about them already (sharp claws, good fishers, they're fat, they hibernate, etc)!  They wrote a fact on a Post-It and added it to the bear.

The kids listened to a big book today about bears and we talked about new facts learned.  To wrap up they worked in a Black Bear Book.

My kiddos made sure to tell me they thought my bear looked like a pig.  Oh...to be a teacher.  I explained to them he had to fit in the laminator so his legs had to be short!!
