BEARS!

We have had a lot of fun with our bears this week! Due to the power outage on Tuesday, I had not sent out the reminder note about the "bring your bear to school" day on Wednesday. Some children did come with their bears, and some did not. It turned out to be a great opportunity for me to see how they would handle this - they were AMAZING! Those who didn't have bears were very willing to choose a classroom bear, so we went on with our plans! We have been working hard using putty thinking instead of rock brain thinking, so I was proud to see them be so flexible. The bears were put into a cave Wednesday night...

and we expected to find them there in the morning. However, we had workmen in our room Wednesday evening putting up our new smart board and 2 new bulletin boards. They must have woken the bears up because this is what we found Thursday morning...

All the bears have been well behaved, so they were able to participate in music with Miss Marlowe. 

We have enjoyed reading about real and make believe bears and learning about hibernation. We will continue this work next week, too. 

Our play is next Tuesday at 2:00 in our classroom, with a little reception afterwards. You might want to arrive a few minutes early so that you can park, sign in and head down to our classroom.

Our Holiday Breakfast is Friday morning, and we love hungry children for that! Miss Qonja has also said that children may wear their pajamas that day!
