Brown Bear, Brown Bear

Today, we used the flannel board to tell the story, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" The children made books during art time to illustrate what bear saw. We talked about colors much of the day. We played a new game, "Riddle Riddle Ree, What Color Do I See?" The children especially liked this game. It is much like "I Spy" but once the children guess the color from the clues, we would put that color triangle on the flannel board. We did some graphing today. The children lined up their gummy bears on graph paper and we counted and sorted. We talked about concepts such as more and less and adding and subtracting. We found out that Allyson and Michaela had the most orange gummy bears. Michalea and Syan had the least amount of green and Halei had no yellow gummy bears. The children and I enjoyed this math activity. Here are a few comments today from the children: "I liked playing with my friends today." Allyson "I learned that being nice is really nice. I liked doing the Creeper Walk at music time." Syan "I liked playing with my friends, playing with Allyson, and I liked making the book that took about 5 hours." Halei "I liked playing with my friends." Andrew Next week is our teddy bear picnic. We will be eating lunch with our teddy bears. If it is warm enough, we will eat outside. Otherwise, we will just set up a picnic area in the room. See you then!
