So last week on Friday, we did school and our theme was teddy bears. For this topic there wasn't alot of "knowledge" things as we didn't get to far into the "bear" thing but just kept it light with fun teddy bear items, this is summer school by the way. We read a lot of stories about bears (46 books from the library!!), I think the favorite was "P.B. Bear goes to School". We also started our first chapter book "Teddy Bear Tree" and we are almost finished with it. We played with our "Dress the bear" puzzles. This is a box of pieces consisting of faces, tops and bottoms, and then the girls piece together the bear in the top of the box. They each had to make a bear and then tell me a story about that bear. They had a lot of fun doing this and we did it many times. We then had a snack of teddy grahams and they each got a knife and some frosting to "paint" the teddy bears. We had rice on a tray in which they drew teddy bears and the letter "B" and then we worked with some games to work on lower case letters. (Princess #1 needs to learn these before school starts). We ended the day by making bear puppets. I found a template at First School which the girls colored and then attached them onto paper bags. As I said at the beginning it was a very laid back lesson this week but the girls had a lot of fun.
