b is for bear hunt

20130928-124336.jpgwell, we worked on this “bear hunt” plan all week. an unplanned part of the week was hunting for our book, we’re going on a bear hunt.20130928-123157.jpgwe never found it but mr matt had the clever idea of looking on line. sure enough, the same book in animated version! click here to watch it. there is some spooky music sometimes, so you should know that.20130928-123042.jpgwe made beautiful brown paint, painted enough paper plates for everyone, let them dry for a day, cut out eye holes, glued on ears and noses, made several graphs…20130928-123509.jpg20130928-123338.jpg20130928-123321.jpgand then finally we were ready to go on our own bear hunts. everyone chose to be a bear or a person or to watch. we did it as often as we could before it was going-home time. here is the cave:20130928-124227.jpg

  1. I couldn’t get your link to open of the book you use. What is the site? I love that your kids acted it out with mask and acting parts! This is a must for my class. I’m sure they will LOVE it! Thanks for sharing such a fun idea!
