B is for Bears

This week is bear week in our classroom.  Today we read two different versions of the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  We then compared and contrasted both stories.  During center time the children sequenced pictures from the story.  We will use them tomorrow to retell the events in the story to a friend.

At another center the children went fishing.  When they caught their fish a number was missing on it.  For example 6, ---, 8.  The children had to think of the number that filled in the blank.  They will have to do this in kindergarten as part of their assessments.

During playtime the children could go to the bear have that I set up in books and puzzles.  They had to be very quiet in the cave for the bears are hibernating and we do not want to wake them up.  In the house center the children used items from a prop box to act out the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
