TEDDY BEAR WEEK!

Dear Parents,

We had a "beary" good week.  We enjoyed bringing our teddy bears to class and taking them to the "Teddy Bear Hospital".  Some of them had ear aches, broken legs, and others had their annual physicals.  We used our language skills to get a complete medical history on our bears.  We put a splint on a bear with a broken leg and administered shots to sick bears.  One bear had an accident and got completely covered with bandages.
















We also invited the Quarter Class into our class and listened to a story with them called Its the Bear" by, Jez Alborough.  We then created our own teddy bears puppets.  

The children had so much fun sitting on a blanket and having a teddy bear picnic.  We ate Teddy Grahams and fruit and shared stories about our stuffed animals.

We concluded our week by reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears and then the children put on their own production of Goldilock and the 3 bears.  They also put on a talent show with their stuffed animals.  These are some of the tricks their talented animals performed:
~ Tima's bunny hopped
~Sid's bear growled
~Caroline's leopard spun on his tiptoes
~Conrad's bear jumped
~Justin's dog ran fast
~Cyrus's bear did a flip
~Gaurav's bear tumbled across the rug
~Emma's bear hopped
~Liz's bear ran 
~Helen's bunny hopped really fast
~ Izzie's bear stood on his head
~Giselle's elephant walked really fast

 ~Antonio's cat walked very fast
