Our TTh class is having fun with bears. We learned about brown bears, polar bears and panda bears. We learned bears have fur, what they eat and baby bears are called cubs. We also created bear crafts.We read Eric Carle's classic books-Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, Polar Bear, Polar Bear What Do You Hear? and Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?
We also read Michael Rosen's 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'. This classic children's story is a great book for young children because of the repetition. I read the story first and the children 'helped' me read. After the first reading, we stood up and acted out the bear hunt. Great fun.
Want to do more at home? Dig out your Eric Carle books. If you don't have the 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' book it is available at your local library. While you are at the library, check out some books on bears! A quick YouTube search shows lots of 'Going on a Bear Hunt' sing-a-longs. Preview because some are way better than others. Have fun with your child!
