Preschool - Week 4 - Ask Mr. Bear

We spent the past two weeks covering Ask Mr. Bear. We were busy and not able to do preschool everyday, but managed to include a lot of fun activities.  This book is an antique.  Our copy had an old library check-out pocket with stamped dates that were older than me!  But the story is timeless, and the little boy was very polite, which I liked.

We did a mix of BFIAR discussion topics/activities as well as a few of my own. She especially liked acting out the way the little boy skipped, galloped, etc. from animal to animal.

On Mondays, E and I have started a habit of going to the library story time after we drop C off at school.  This week they had "anything goes," so E made this wonderful work of art. Notice the chairs the bears are sitting on and the rain storm over the little bear:

We did a clothespin "bear" card:

I got out the Animal Habitat cards I made last year, and had E pull out the animals that live in the deciduous forest:

We also did a number activity. I feel that she knows her numbers 1-10 very well, and can recognize the numerals as well as count them. We may move on to some very simple addition next. This activity she had to put them in order:

We also did a Hen magnet page,

 and printed out these great Ask Mr. Bear cards from HomeschoolShare.com.  

With these, she had to match the "gift" to the animal who offered it, and then I had her put the animals in the order that they appeared in the book.
