I bet that got your attention!  Well our class is investigating how our culture influences our beliefs, attitudes and practices.  Today we shared what we know and think about bears and our scribes Mindi and Ryan put all the words up on the board to create our class web diagram.  We had some amazing visual journal responses to the word BEARS which allowed individuals to highlight their ideas.  Our beliefs and knowledge about bears really impacted the visual journal entries.  Check out a few samples included below.    We had a good mix of fairy tale bears and real bears but interesting we also saw Buckingham Bears represented too!
