Young Learners: It's Bear Week!

Lots of literature and dramatic play for my little bears, today. 

Fine Motor: bear jigsaw puzzles, and dress the bear wood puzzles. 

Math: counting bears color sorting, pattern cards, and number sort cards. 

Dramatic Play: Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. My favorite part of this was everyone wanting a turn to be goldilocks so they could "break" baby bear's rocking chair and fall asleep in her tiny bed. 

Snack: I read the big hungry bear and the ripe red strawberry while they ate Teddy Grahams, gummy bears, and strawberries and then the children "fed" berries and fish to their grizzly bears and tucked their bears in to a "den" to hibernate while I read Grizzly and Bear Snores On. 

Art and science 

B is for Bubbles! We made blue and black bubble paint and popped bubble art on big letter B's. Good messy fun. 

Music and movement: going on a bear hunt, teddy bear picnic. Brown bear brown bear parade
