In December, we read "Bear Snores On" by Karma Wilson. In the story, several forest animals one by one enter the cave of the sleeping bear to escape the weather outside. Each animal brings a little something and soon a party is going on. Eventually, they wake up the bear which makes for an exciting ending.
Ms. Deb, Dina and Fay created a board outside of our classroom to introduce the story. Each student decorated a snowman and add
their face to which were put on the board.
Our bear is nice and warm under his quilt. A follow up story we read was also by Karma Wilson entitled "Bear Stays Up for Christmas". In this story, bear is gifted the blanket.
One of the projects was for each student to make their own cave. We ripped black, gray, green and yellow papers for the project. Then we added a die cut bear.

I love your projects! I used the bear cave one with my students and they loved it! One fo my students even said "bear" for the first time while we were working on it! Thanks for the great ideas!
