Bears, Bears, Bears...

Right now our class is learning about bears.  We brainstormed all the bears we could think of; Pandas, Polar Bears, Grizzly Bears, Brown Bears, Black Bears, Teddy, Winnie the Pooh, Corduroy, Papa, Mama and Baby Bear, and some others.  We sorted pictures of bears living and non-living.

We learned about what bears eat and made flip up books.  Bears eat _____ but not me!

We learned about hibernation.  Some of us thought I might be nice to sleep for a really long time, but then realized we wouldn't get to come to school and see our friends so we changed our minds. We have a cool poem about bears eating before they hibernate.  The poem is magnetic so we can change what the bear eats each time we read it.


We have a bookshelf full of bear books including Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See by Eric Carle, Polar Bear, Polor Bear What Do You Hear? by Eric Carle, Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Bear Snores On.

We have been listening to bear songs, too! Click here to see and hear - I Can't Wait to Hibernate

  2. Mrs. Henriksen,

    Thank you for looking at our blog and commenting. We are really enjoying learning about bears. This morning our attendance question was which bear is your favourite? Our choices were Koala, Black Bear, Panda, Polar Bear and Brown Bear. We found that 1 person liked Polar Bears the most. She said she liked them because they were cute and cuddly and she liked the babies. There were 14 people that liked Panda Bears the most. Some of the reasons they liked Pandas were; because they eat bamboo, because of their colours, and because of the movie "Kung-Fu Panda."

    From,
    Mrs. Morrison and Division 21
