Teddy Bear Day was a huge success! We had a busy and fun-filled day.  Over the past few weeks, we have been learning about adaptations that animals make in the winter.  We talked a lot about hibernating and migrating.  We made bear shaped salt dough ornament which the children painted.  Today, for teddy bear day all students brought their teddy bears or favourite animal stuffy to school! We made bear hats and went on a bear hunt!  We measured and weighed our bears, and used our data to compare them to other children’s bears.  This afternoon, we each graphed a small bag of gummy bears and recorded it on our data collecting sheet.   Lastly, we all had a yummy treat!  Please look for the bear booklets and bear ornaments that came home in your child’s planner.  Perhaps while you look through the booklet with your child, you can ask questions to see if they remember what adaptations animals make in the winter.  Looking forward to January when we will begin a unit on Penguins! Have a wonderful and safe holiday!
