Bear Lapbook

We had so much fun learning about bears this week!

Many ideas here are taken from www.homeschoolshare.com.

1. We learned about the differences between polar bears, panda bears, brown bears and black bears.

2. We learned about where bears live within North America.

3. We sang the alphabet song (more for my youngest) and we made sure to focus on the letter B!

4. My oldest had some copy work to practice. We also read Brown Bear Brown Bear by Eric Carle. My youngest enjoyed matching the animals together (see the “heads and tails minibook in the picture).

5. Once we read Brown Bear Brown Bear by Eric Carle, my youngest made his own Look At Me book. We also had an incredible time learning the song “We’re going on a Bear Hunt.” We made a craft that also went with that story.

6. Once finished learning the song….my kids really enjoyed this You Tube video!! This was sooo funny!! We sang this over and over again!!

7. We also learned about Theodore Roosevelt (since I am American it was great American history!)

8. We talked about patterns. My youngest really enjoyed the story by Eric Carle. He loves book with repetition. We completed minibooks again from www.homeschoolshare.com.

9. We further learned about polar bears and enjoyed watching videos on you tube about how polar bears and brown bears hunt for their food.

                   

10. We loved watching these videos!

11.We had a little treat…. I mean we graphed gummy bears!!!

   

12.  We finished off the week by going on our own “Bear Hunt!”

   

Eventually we found a Bear!!!!!
