Bears in Workstations



We all throughly enjoyed our stuffed animal day during Bear Week. We measured the length, circumference and weight of our fictional friends as well as wrote a non-fiction or fictional piece about how we acquired them. Sara and Alexa were very persistent, counting 196 and 364 tiles in order to weigh the heaviest stuffed friends in class. Weighing was the favorite center of the day. We could not have included it without Julie Blodgett's help. Thank you for volunteering and helping us count Julie!



Bears popped up in all our content areas. The class received their first word puzzle. Caitlin aided in the quest for missing letters in our class poem during workstations.



In workstations students had the choice of building a den for their bears. Johnmorgan was reminded about the purpose of the assignment when he placed wheels on what looked like a car. He immediately replied, "I am building a den, a den on wheels." I was beaten, and I knew it.
