Preschool Storytime: Bears (2019)

I bring 8-9 books that I have selected from all the ones I preread. When it is time for a story, I put out three choices, and I let the children pick.  The ones listed are the three we read.

Opening song: (Tune: "The Farmer in the Dell")

                         We tap hola like this
                         We tap hola like this
                          Hi-ho cherry
                          We tap hola like this

                          Continue with other verses:
                          We drop hola like this...
                          We circle hola like this...
                          We spin hola like this...
                          We toss hola like this...
                           We spin hola like this...

Held up capital and lowercase Bb
Talked about its sound and things that start with this sound
Found it on the alphabet chart
Made lowercase b in the air


Book: Sneeze, Big Bear, Sneeze by Maureen Wright


Song with shakers: 

“All Kinds of Bears”
(Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”)

Grizzly bears are big and brown.
Big and brown, big and brown.
Grizzly bears are big and brown.
And live in the woods.

Polar bears are soft and white.
Soft and white, soft and white.
Polar bears are soft and white.
And live where it is cold.

Panda bears are black and white.
Black and white, black and white
Panda bears are black and white.
And live in the jungle.

Teddy bears are just my size.
Just my size, just my size.
Teddy bears are just my size.
To cuddle up


Grizzly bears are big and café.
Big and brown, big and café.
Grizzly bears are big and café.
And live in the woods.

Polar bears are soft and blanco.
Soft and white, soft and blanco.
Polar bears are soft and blanco.
And live where it is cold.

Panda bears are negro y blanco.
Black and white, negro y blanco
Panda bears are negro y blanco.
And live in the jungle.

Teddy bears are just mi talla.
Just mi talla, just mi talla.
Teddy bears are just mi talla.
To cuddle up




Song with shakers:

“Did You Ever See a Bear”?
(Tune: “Did You Ever See a Lassie?)

Did you ever see a brown bear,
A brown bear, a brown bear?
Did you ever see a brown bear
Catching a fish?

Did you ever see a brown bear,
A brown bear, a brown bear?
Did you ever see a brown bear
Climbing a tree?

Did you ever see a brown bear,
A brown bear, a brown bear?
Did you ever see a brown bear
Eating honeycomb?


Did you ever see un oso café
Un oso café, un oso café?
Did you ever see un oso café
Catching a fish?

Did you ever see un oso café
Un oso café, un oso café?
Did you ever see un oso café
Climbing a tree?

Did you ever see un oso café
Un oso café, un oso café?
Did you ever see un oso café
Eating honeycomb?

Craft Time:

Reviewed sequence of story using pictures I found online. This is a link to the pictures I used.

We completed a dot page for letter Bb. You can find these dot pages here.

Craft: We're Going on a Bear Hunt Map  We didn't make binoculars. We just made maps.




Materials:
1. Large sheet of paper
2. Green construction paper for grass
3. Blue construction paper for river
4. Brown paint
5. Green construction paper
6. Brown construction paper
7. White glitter or glitter glue
8. Cotton balls
10. Black marker
11. Crayons
12. Glue


Instructions:
1. Fold paper into six equal parts. You can still see the creases if you look at the picture above. This helps the children know which item from the story goes in each square.
2. To create the long wavy grass, cut a small rectangle from the green construction paper. All the way across the top, cut slits into the rectangle that go most of the way to the bottom.  glue along the bottom of the grass. Then glue it to the first box, and crinkle the blades of grass.
3. Cut a river out of blue construction paper. Add some waves to it using a black marker. Glue on the river  in the second box.
4. Dip finger in brown paint. Spread paint in a circular shape inside the third box in the top row to form the mud.
5. Cut triangles out of green construction paper. Cut narrow rectangles out of brown construction paper. Glue these together into the last box of the bottom row to form trees.
6. Take a cotton ball, and stretch it out. Glue it to the bottom of the middle box in the bottom row.  Use glitter glue or glue to draw some snowflakes in the air. If using glue, then sprinkle on glitter over the top to form snow.
7. Cut a cave shape out of a brown piece of construction paper. Cut out the middle of the cave.  Glue the cave to the last empty box. Take a black crayon and color in the rest of the cave. Cut out a bear from the page of clip art. Color it whatever color you would like. Then glue it inside the opening of the cave.
8. Take a crayon or black marker and trace the path to the cave going through each stop in the story.
