Favorite Bear Stories For Fall and Into Winter


It's about that time when the bear is eating all it can to get ready for a long winter nap!
Did you know male bears sleep all the way through until Spring and mama only wakes up to give birth to her cubs?  Now that is a LONG nap!!
These stories are wonderful and filled with information for your class to learn more about bears using literature.
Time To Sleep...Denise Fleming
Bear Snores On...Karma Wilson
Bear Has a Story to Tell...Phillip Stead
Using these stories teaching your class about bears and the changing seasons become very meaningful.

The packet begins with informational text about bears.
Have your class read and reread the text highlighting key vocabulary and facts.
Then have students use the text to complete activities and write.

And look at these two cute crafts for the stories Time to Sleep and Bear Snores On.
Top them on the writing activity It Is Time To Sleep When...

Each story has activities to accompany it.
My favorite for Bear Snores On is the interactive mini book!
Story Elements, Character Identification, Sensory

Time to Sleep has a wonderful sequencing activity and Bear Has a Story To Tell focuses on signs of winter coming.
Word work is also included and look at the idea for a cute snack!
