Today, we went on a bear hunt. First, we read the book, "We're Going On A Bear Hunt". We then put on our hunting gear and went outside through the woods next door to search for the bears that were hidden in the trees. The children were so excited as we walked along chanting an except from the story, "We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We're not scared."
During art, we decorated Valentine boxes. They look absolutely beautiful! Each child glued on jewels, hearts, feathers, and his/her name. I will post pictures of the boxes on here next week. Thank you to Allyson, Andrew and Halei for donating the wipe containers. A great big "thank you" to Halei's grandma who sent the majority of the boxes that we used.
Next week is our "Teddy Bear Tea" and Valentine's Day party. The children and I will be making homemade hot chocolate with all of the fun toppings. We'll also decorate mugs next week. Don't forget valentine cards. You'll find a class list your child's journal or folder. Some of the children mentioned that they wanted to print the names themselves so I thought that the name list would come in handy.
Please feel free to send in an extra snack to share at our party if you'd like. See you next week!

I thought you were going to say you chanted, "There ain't no booger bears out tonight. Daddy came out and killed them all last night." I think you chose a better chant--a little less scary! It did remind me of the good 'ol days of playing "booger bears" with dad and Jon. So much fun!
That's right!
I made certain that the children understood that we were not going to see any real bears this year. That's been an issue in the past. In fact, I warned Desiree because Halei told me in advance that she would not be at school for the bear hunt:-)
