December 2, 2015 Story Time - Hibernation

If you missed this weeks story time here is what we did:

*marks the books we read

Extra activities:
Where is bear?
(substitute any hibernating animal - sung to "Where is Thumbkin?")
Where is bear? Where is bear?
here I am, here I am
How are you this winter?
very tired, thank you
go to sleep
go to sleep
(other animals you can use in the song: badger, chipmunk, groundhog, turtle, frog, bat, etc)

Bear is sleeping
(sung to "Frere Jacques")
Bear is sleeping, bear is sleeping
let it snow! let it snow!
sleeping all the winter, sleeping all the winter
snug and warm, snug and warm
bear is sleeping, bear is sleeping
in a cave, in a cave
I wonder when he'll come out, wonder when he'll come out
in the spring, in the spring
