The Kindergarten Class is spending their first month of school learning all about bears! They started out by bringing their Teddy Bears the first day of school. They read the story Corduroy and went on a scavenger hunt looking for his lost buttons. They found one in the library, one in the cafeteria, one in the office, and even one in Mr. Kapanka’s office. This is a great way for them to meet the special helpers that they will see each day. When they got back, Corduroy had a special bear snack waiting for them.
In Science, they made a book all about Black Bears. They learned the eating and sleeping habits of black bears. They learned that an adult male can weigh up to 550 pounds and he often sacrifices sleeping in the coziest spot in his den so he can lay by the door and shield his family from cold and danger? What a protector he is to his family!
The Kindergartners have a chance to win a beary special prize when they read with their moms or dads. Each time they are read a book, they get a puzzle piece for their bear on the bulletin board. When the puzzle is completed, they get a little stuffed bear to take home!
There is another bear bulletin board in the classroom. It’s Buddy the Bear peeking through a window. If the Kindergarteners get all the apples off his shutters, and into his window box, they will have a special party. They have to work together as a class and have good behavior to make the apples disappear. Can you guess what kind of party? It’s of course, a bear party!
The Kindergarteners can’t wait for their Teddy Bear Day! They will be having four stations each with a Teddy Bear Theme! They will do some graphing, sorting, patterning, language skills, and even a craft, all with Teddy Bears! They will also have a Teddy Bear cake and, of course, bring back their Teddy Bears for the day. Even their bears will win an award!
The Kindergarteners are enjoying their bear theme this month. I must say, they are having a “beary” good time!
