Check out our bulletin board. The students worked very hard on their bears. We practice using scissors on a regular basis. One of the cues we use to help a child position their hand is "thumb on top".
Our teddy bear picnic was so much fun. We lined the animals up according to size (to go along with our discussion about large, medium and small). We had some pretty significant debates about a few of the animals and which was actually bigger.
We have been working on story writing. We've discussed how everyone can be an author and illustrator. Students have had the opportunity to write their own stories and dictate them to a teacher. They have also contributed in whole class stories where each student can contribute to one story. Remember every child is at a different level or writing. Some are learning how to scribble while others are writing mock letters, letters and even words.

Here are a couple photos of our graphing of the gummy bears!
Our sensory table is full of oats (for the Three Bears), bowls and spoons. It has been a very popular center this week.
Shaving cream and teddy bears! Here are some photos of some of the students in the class playing with shaving cream. Shaving cream play provides a sensory experience but also provides an opportunity for so much more learning. While playing with the bears the students were encouraged to count them, use their pointer fingers to draw or write in the shaving cream, and so much more.
