For several weeks our class has been learning about bears. Some of our activities have included constructing Venn Diagrams comparing and contrasting different types of bears, creating several types of poems, including acrostic and haiku, and writing about our favorite types of bears. Using our shared reading "Favorite Bear" by Georgia Heard as a springboard, we created an interactive writing graph illustrating our favorite bears. Working collaboratively, students formulated questions about the graph for the project. Students recreated our class graph and wrote and illustrated facts about their favorite bears using Kidpix.
