Teddy Bear Day!

Friday was Teddy Bear Day in our classroom!  Each student brought in their favorite teddy bear from home.  Some brought in different stuffed animals if they didn't have teddy bears.....we had unicorns, aliens, dogs, and lots of bears.

 

 We read several stories about bears....some real and some make believe. After reading our stories, we compared real bears to our teddy bears using a Venn Diagram

 

 We thought of describing words about our bears.  I briefly told them that these were called adjectives, but we didn't go into that too much.  We will be learning about adjectives later in the year.  Then we used these adjectives to write sentences about our bears.

We also completed lots of math activities with our teddy bear theme.  The students had to make predictions for how many gummy bears were in the jar.  After we counted them together, the students found the difference between their predictions and the real answer.

.

We  used  gummy bears to complete some ten frames since we just started working on finding compliments of ten in math, and we used Honey and Chocolate Teddy Grahams to complete addition and subtraction problems

 

Then each child got a bag with 12 gummy bears. They sorted by color, made a bar graph, and then answered questions like which color did you have the least of?

 

We ended our bear day by laying on the floor and reading stories to our bears.
