This week learned what to do if you meet a bear in the wilderness. The kids happily drew pictures of what to do, and made their poster, but I wanted to make sure they remembered it. Besides I had a fun project pinned on my land animals board.
A few years ago over at Almost Unschoolers she shared about making a bear cave. I stored it away and pulled it out this year.
We pulled out paper bags, colored and cut, and………..
Created our very own paper bag bear caves. Yes those are all bears, these are not the dogs you are looking for…………..
And we used art and role playing to reinforce an otherwise forgettable lesson. The kids loved acting it out.
I especially love Princess’ expression as she demonstrates yelling and hitting the bear to surprise it.
Now, we’ve got a fun short term toy to add into our play, and they remember what to do if they ever meet a bear.
Let’s see what others did this week:
Each week I’m spotlighting a few posts that were shared previously. Many posts get linked up later in the week and they don’t always get as many clicks as they deserve, so I’m trying to spotlight a few every week.

Footprints in Time shared a wonderful experiment to make an electro-magnet (and she’s got some follow up posts that I just saw). What kid wouldn’t want to do that?
Finding the Teachable Moments shared a great unit on the Sun with us. I loved some of her reading activities that went with this science unit.
Highhill Homeschool shared some great videos about blood cells (no great picture to share from the post) and a slew of other anatomy videos. Give her some love ya’ll, she’s got a lot going on right now and still manages to post great stuff.

Thank you for spotlighting our Sun Unit! I was so surprised to see my little guy’s face here when I popped over to link up
I love all the hands on learning your kids had this week. Looks like they had lots of fun!
They really did, I need to think of more ways to do this
I was so surprised to see my electromagnet in you spotlight light. Thank you so much.
This is a wonderful way to encourage a lot of science.
I enjoyed your post a lot, and thought it was well done. I actually had a lot of really great posts last week, it was hard to choose the ones I did.
Congratulations on using a “pin” from your Pinboard! I know I always actually feel like I’ve “accomplished” something when I do that…it makes me feel like all the time I spend on Pinterest is justified… ;0)
I do too, it’s a big sense of accomplishment.
What a cute craft! I have yet to try a single one of the gazillion ideas I have pinned. They’re still there, though!
Did you make the superhero doll one of your boys is playing with? Am I vaguely remembering a post about that?
I did make it. And good memory, there’s actually a couple of posts about it, but the post sharing it originally is here: http://adventuresinmommydom.org/mailboxes-and-dolls/
I LOVE that pattern, and have made so many of them. They’re so much fun to make.
I don’t even want to think of the outrageously large number of pins I have that I haven’t even attempted.
What to do if you meet a bear – run, and hope the guy you’re with is slower than you. That’s what they teach us in Montana, anyway
Ha ha ha ha, that’s certainly what I would have thought.
What a great craft/learning idea! This would be great to do with my kiddos I nanny for, and Ava once she’s older!
