Sleepy Bears

This morning we started learning about bears, hibernation, and the letter ‘R’. We read a non-fiction picture book called Bears and Their Dens. Then the children made their own bear den! We used a large cardboard box and a lot of newspaper. It was cozy and warm and we could fit six children in the den at a time. Some of the children thought they could stay in there all winter, but after a few minutes, they decided it would be more fun to have snack and play.

After snack, we played rhythm sticks with a steady beat to the song, Run, Run, Run. Then the morning ended with the children painting their own set of rhythm sticks, which they will take home at the end of the year. While getting ready for home, we sang the song, Little Rabbit Foo Foo.

This morning Claire also picked out her artwork for her art show. It will be up all week.
