Teddy Bear Picnic

The children truly enjoyed our teddy bear picnic.  The idea of a teddy bear picnic is based off of the book by Jimmy Kennedy.  During our picnic the children taste tested Teddy Grahams, honey, and blueberries.  The blueberries were a big hit!  We then graphed which flavor teddy graham they thought tasted the best.  During centers the children listened to the story The Bear Came over to My House with me.  This story worked on rhyming words.  They then played a bear rhyming path game.  With Grandma Sue and Miss Sue the children played the teddy bear toss.  There were five buckets set out with numbers programed on them.  The children tossed their teddy bear into a bucket and recorded the number on their recording sheet.  The children also visited the listening center where they listened to the story Panda Bear, Panda Bear What Do You See?
