We read A Bear in War and coloured poppies for our Remembrance Day wreath today. A Bear in War is one of my favourite picture books for talking about Remembrance Day. It is a true story and showcases Canadian history.
After we read the book we visited the website for the Canadian War Museum to see the real Teddy Bear!!!
What are your go to Remembrance Day activities?
Cheers,

This year I noticed that many of my students were using a lot of negative self talk and that they were giving up on a task before they even started. Something needed to be done about this so I did some research on Growth Mind Set and decided that this is exactly what my students…
Well it finally feels like we are in the swing of things at school. Everything is behind because of our late start so it is weird that we only have a few CAFE strategies done. Here is an update on our most recent activities. We had a Seusstastic time with our Tune in to…
Hi Terri!
We read Bear in War too! Thanks for the museum link. I told the kids I'd find it and share it with them. I will be sharing that experience in my Writing Sundays post. Pop by. I'd love to know what you think. Our 2nd grade perspective was probably a little different. 🙂
