Bears

We learned about bears this week and, as the weather gets colder, I'm about ready to hibernate just like a bear!

Books:
I'm Going to Give You a Bear Hug - Caroline B. Cooney
Chu's Day - Neil Gaiman
We're Going on a Bear Hunt - Michael Rosen
Big Bear, Small Mouse - Karma Wilson*

*I taught the kids the ASL sign for "Big" and "Small", and we signed throughout the book every time it said "big bear" and "small mouse".


New Activities:
1. Grrr, Grrr Went the Big Brown Bear One Day
Grrr, grrr went the big brown bear,
Grr, grrr went the big brown bear one day,
And they all went grrr, grrr, grrr.
BUT...
We know bears go huggy, huggy, hug,
Huggy, huggy, hug, huggy, huggy, hug.
We know bears go huggy, huggy, hug,
They don't go grrr, grrr, grrr.
