Teddy bears

We are sharing our classroom with teddy bears this week. 

We have observed that their are a lot of different kinds of teddy bears . Small ones, big ones, different colors and sizes and even shapes and texture.

I always enjoy looking through Funshineexpress book list. Reading is one of our favorite times of the day and with so many options, we can read a new one everyday if we choose. 

Teddy Bear , Teddy Bear had been a favorite. It is an action book and the kids look forward to what moves comes next.

It's simple and short and that is perfect for a toddler circle time. 

The bears decided they wanted to go on picnic, so the kids set up a nice picnic area and made sure each bear had food. 

Sorting is also a simple way of learning beginning math skills, patterning, colors .

One to one corresponding. 

We did some sorting by using spoons to pick up the bears. Next we will use tweezers.

One of the creative arts activity was to make a textured bear. 

It was textured by using soft felt paper for the face and a noodle for the nose. Wax paper for the belly, cupcake liners for the ears and black stickers for the eyes. 

We hope the teddy bears have a lot more in store for us!
