Yesterday we shared a video of Ms Anne reading "We're going on a Bear Hunt", and today WE ARE going on a bear hunt ... Are we sure we want to?? Here is the link if you want to listen to the book again: youtu.be/ru1avob1_3w . As we learn all about bears today, keep your eyes out for how many little bears you see throughout the blog! In the survey at the bottom of this post, you can say how many bears you found, and see if you found them all! And look! Here is the first bear you've found on your hunt! 🐻 Writing TimeWrite your nameWrite the date: 5-14-20Write the word of the day: BEAR 🐻Writing Time Reminders: -Names can be all uppercase, or start with uppercase and then use lower case. -Parents write the date first, then kids write or trace it. -”Word of the Day” words reinforce the weekly theme and provide practice writing letters that may not appear in their names. Parents can talk about the word and encourage a story or drawing -Parents, your children may need help with these tasks, so feel free to practice along with them. Circle TimeBears 🐻 look lovable and cuddly...but they are not! They are one animal I hope never to see while I am out camping! Bears have huge paws, a furry body, a snout and short stubby tails. There are 8 different kinds of bears: Only one kind of bear lives in Oregon→ Black bear! 🐻 Polar Bears are the largest and can weigh up 1500 pounds (that is as heavy as a hippopotamus). Brown bears are the next largest. Sun Bears🐻 are the smallest, only weighing about 100 pounds(that might be the same as one of your family members--ask them how much they weigh and compare). Do you weigh more or less than a Sun Bear? Most bears will munch on things like fish, honey, and berries. Different kinds of bears eat different kinds of things depending on where they live. Watch out, some bears dig through campsite and neighborhood garbage cans! Most people lock up their food to keep it safe from a variety of forest animals….not just bears! Fun Fact: baby bears 🐻 are called “cubs”. Daily Activity - Spray Bottle Nature Art
