While teaching 1st grade, I enjoyed teaching thematically! All of my read-a-loud books, centers, crafts and so on where based off of one theme. And I really felt that my students enjoyed it and LEARNED while teaching this way! So, if it worked for them, I was hoping it would work for my lil Jackson!

| Bear cookies! We B-aked these after we rode our B-ike to the B-ank! (more pictures below) |
So back in January, we decided to learn about bears. This was my first attempt to preschool homeschooling, so I didn't take as many pictures/videos. But I hope this gives you some ideas to do with your little learner!

| Picture of a scary bear will draw any 3 year old in! My literacy focus (besides the letter B) was labeling! Using sticky notes cut in 1/2, we labeled this scary bear and even learned about FUR (with the help of Tank and Max). **Using old picture calendars are GREAT for this activity! I always see them on sale at Micheals!** |

| B-erries and B-ananas on a stick for B-reakfast! Even touched on making a pattern! |

I just used a circle cookie cutter for the face, them rolled 2 small balls and flatten them for the ears. We even added nose (rolled ball in the middle)
For the frosting, I just used a plastic baggie with a small hole cut in the corner. Jackson squeezed out the chocolate frosting to make "fur" and I added the face!
Sure was a yummy treat!
B-erries B-ananas and B-ears - oh my! Love it!!
