Brown Bear Alphabet Game and Popcorn Words

I made these alphabet cards for our Brown Bear unit.  Some students are still learning letter names while others are ready for initial sounds.  I stamped the back with a Stamping Up! set so I can use them for both groups.  I also cut some bears for our popcorn words.

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

We will be doing an author study of Dr. Seuss. The red, yellow, and blue fish will be used for sorting and an addition worksheet. The students will use crayon resist to draw fish in the fishbowl and then write a sentence.

Ice Fishing Popcorn Word Center

This idea comes from www.makinglearningfun.com. I will cover a copy box with white paper and cut a hole in the top. Each fish will have a paper clip (see "it"). I will make a fishing rod with a dowel and a magnet. Students will go ice fishing and read the word on the fish they catch.

The Scarecrow's Hat

The animals to go along with this story are from Animal Kingdom. I slimmed down the skunk to make the badger. The props are mostly things I found around the classroom. I bought the hat and sunglasses from the doll section of Michaels.

Brown Bear

I made each character from the story Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Bill Martin. I used Animal Kingdom for all the animals. I used Paper Dolls for the Teacher. I outlined each animal with marker and then laminated them.

Birthdays

I love these fishbowls. I gave Madison the choice of bugs and jars, cupcakes and candles or fishbowls. I am so glad she choose the fishbowls. They are adorable. The paper is from Walmart and I love the the way the yellow and blue look together.
