Busy Week! 11/16- 11/20

This was a very busy week (as usual!)... so busy I hardly had time for pictures!

On Friday we went to an assemby to learn about how to protect ourselves from the Florida black bear if we ever happen to encounter one in the wild... or in our own back yards! AJ and CG got chosen to go on stage to help show what to do if you happen to encounter a Florida black bear up close. We learned to never look it in the eye and to never turn and run. We learned to raise our hands to make ourselves look bigger and to back away slowly speaking in a calm tone and turning our head from side to side.

Some of our classmates got to go up on stage to help with another demonstration. AJ, GT, CC, JC got to help demonstrate what to do if you see a bear at a distance. We learned to make loud noises, blow whistles, bang pots and pans, etc. Here they are pretending to blow an air horn after hollering at the bear to go away.
We all got to touch a real bear skin after the program!

During show and tell today, BL shared a worm home he made following the directions in our reading book. Wow, it really worked. You can even see the worm tunnels. Great job, BL!
