More Bears!

We had so much fun being bears last week, we are going to do it again!

Today, November 29th, we will:

• Read "Bear Snores On" by Karma Wilson.
• Act out the animal characters from the story.
• Play "Bears are Sleeping."
• Sing a song of Shapes
• See what kinds of bears we can make using different shapes.

Ideas for Home:

• Play “Who Stole the Honey From the sleeping Bear?” sung to the tune of “Who Stole the Cookie?”
• Hide a honey pot or other bear foods (printed from your computer) around the house and go hunting.
• Use a stuffed bear to practice position words. Have children place their bear on their head, on their shoulder, under their arm, beside their face, behind their back, in their hand and so on.
• Puffy Paint Bear Pictures: Make homemade puffy paint by adding the desired watercolor paint color to shaving cream and glue. We have not tried this yet, but love the idea!

Enjoy playing and pretending at home, let your little ones be your guide!!
