Shhh the bears are sleeping!

Today we watched a great YouTube video that showed a black bear preparing to hibernate in Wisconsin.  I did have to fast forward through parts of it to keep things flowing.  I have included the link if your child would like to see more of it.  http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wlThdzKXjQQ

During centers today the children played a bear path rhyming game.  They all enjoyed this activity.  At another center they made their "b" page for the alphabet book that they are making.  At an independent center the children colored a bear head, cut it out, and wrote their name on it.  I modeled the directions for them and gave them a visual list of the direction to follow.  I then had them complete the project on their own.  They showed great independence with this!
