Brown Bear, Brown Bear...

Did your child come home chanting "Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see..." this week? We read this favorite children's book several times, learning color words, noticing question marks, and practicing the comprehension skill of retelling a story. The boys and girls discovered that the illustrator retells the story himself with stripes of color on the inside front and back covers!

Yesterday, the children colored the story's characters to match the book, then sorted M&Ms on each picture. They counted and recorded the number in each set. They compared their sets using the terms greater, less, more and fewer, and some curious learners even decided to count the total number of M&Ms in their collections. Such a fun way to finish another week of teaching and learning together in kindergarten!
