Bears

Today we watched a live webcam of Jewel a hibernating bear. Click here for a link to the video. The kids LOVED watching her sleep and she was even moving around. They got to see her huge claw and she even winked at us. It was awesome! We'll be checking back in on her daily to see if she's given birth to a little cub. Thank you to Mrs. Neshawait for sharing the link!

While watching the live webcam the kids also wrote about bears. I wrote the words Jewel and hibernate on the board for students to use.

"Jewel put her head in." -Adam

"Jewel is hibernate." -Megan N.

"Jewel is going to have a baby when she goes to sleep and hibernating." -Elena

Mason thought seeing the hybernating bear was "so cool", he watched it again when he came home. Thanks

Leah came home and asked me if she could watch the bear. She really enjoyed this activity and thank you for sharing it with us on the blog.

The room was filled with excitement as Jewel moved around. She even put her huge claws up to the camera. We'll keep observing!

The boys enjoyed watching Jewel and insisted in all of us watching her.

Lynette asked us to watch Jewel. She went on and on about Jewel's den, hibernation, and about her "babies." Something so simple kept the girls watching for a long time!

Mason has been watching Jewel for the last few days and was so excited to see that she had her cubs this morning.

Elena was excited to watch Jewel before bedtime each night for a week! She was also happy to see a picture of her writing and has requested that you post more! LOL! Thank you for this blog!
