A bear barges into a girl’s house. He is rude and does not listen. Then bear’s
parent comes in and stops the madness.
INTEGRATED ACTIVITY:
FINE ARTS: Draw the girls house or give students a
template or blue print of the house. Have them draw different features in the
girls house, such as the bear, the girl, couches, and chairs. Give them labels
to mark their items for the house.
ENGLISH: Write all the words
that you can think of that start with the letter B. Give every student a
different letter and have them come up with a three word title for a book. The
catch is they must make every word begin with their letter.
SCIENCE: Begin a lesson about
bears and their natural habitat. What they need to survive and how they are
needed in the environment. Play the live web cam for black bears at the zoo. www.bear.org/website/live-cameras/holly-bears-den-cam-live.html
