Bear Week

This week was "Bear Week". Colby also had "Bear Week" way back when. I just added some to it with Dalayna. All the stuffed bears we have in the house get to come to school for the week, then we do different activities, all centered around bears. We also read a lot of factual books about bears. I had to laugh at one book, though. It claims bears evolved from dogs. Ha!! This was our "muffin tin" meal with bear food. I only have one muffin tin, so Colby got it and this plate was just more colorful. We have chicken in the top left corner to represent tree bark. Next to that, we have gummi bears, just for fun. Next, fish crackers because bears like to eat fish. The left bottom corner is peanuts and sunflower seeds, because they like to eat nuts. And finally, berries, because everyone knows bears like them, too!!
Dalayna got to sort gummi bears, then eat them after she finished her graph. She also had to determine which color had the most and least. We both enjoyed eating the gummi bears!!

This is Dalayna's bear cave. Ok, so it's not made of dirt or snow, but it will do, right?


Here are all the bears Colby and Dalayna could find to bring to bear week. Colby was a wonderful big brother and helped Dalayna find as many as possible. Can you pick which is my cuddly bear?



We also measured the biggest and smallest bears. The white bear is the biggest at 3 feet, and the brown bear is the smallest at 3 inches.
