Beginnings with Gideon

Gideon's first week of Before Five in a Row (second week of Pre-K) gave us a book that we will love for years to come. For our first day reading Michael Rosen's "We're Going on a Bear Hunt", we acted out the family's trek to find a bear.

On our second day, we discussed family relationships and how many people were in the family in the story. Then Gideon drew a picture of our family.....including a bear.

On day number three, we looked at the illustrations throughout the book and enjoyed discussing the feelings and thoughts they portray.

On our fourth and last day (due to the Labor Day holiday), we watched Michael Rosen perform his story....and then we watched it three more times.

Then we went outside and experienced the feeling of mud between our toes.

This book will definitely be added to our family library and continue to be a favorite!
