freezing weather, snow, and bears...oh my!

Guess what? We had snow. I know, right?  The day after Halloween, we HAD SNOW and it was only about this much. but I pouted like a 4 year old.  It happens every year at this time and yet I'm always completely baffled when it does! Which brings me to my next point. WINTER.  YIKES!!!! This year is flying by and it means a LOT OF INSIDE RECESS. {insert dramatic music}

I looooove teaching my kiddos about all those fun winter topics....penguins, snowflakes, icebergs, and bears. I usually teach my bear unit in January, but some teachers might like it as a good transition from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Which now brings me to my next point..... A BEAR UNIT! This unit was actually supposed to be a mini-unit, but I went overboard and after over 100 pages, I think I'm done.
