Having a "bear"-y good time...




We continued our unit on winter animals and learned about bears and their habits in the winter!  We read more informational text and searched the internet for answers to our questions.  We had fun watching the polar bears and panda bears on different zoo cameras too!  They worked hard on their bear books and wrote facts about the three bears we researched: grizzly bears, polar bears, and panda bears.

We wrote about our favorite bear at the end of the week.
Julian likes the pandas because they have black eyes "fur".

We also had our first "directed drawing" lesson! The students followed my directions to draw a grizzly bear, step-by-step.  They used crayons and Twistable crayons to color them!

We used oil pastels to draw the background and cotton balls to paint these pandas!

We learned about the greater than and less than symbols with bears too! We learned the "bear" always wants to eat the number that is bigger/greater than than the other.  Here we are practicing as a group!

This week's letter was the letter Bb!  We sorted words beginning with b and ending with b. Then we read the words and drew pictures to go with them.
