The Sleeping Bear

Today, I read the story of "The Sleeping Bear" from Enki to W boy. This story is one of Enki's many winter nature story for kindergartners. This is a story is about Una the mother bear hibernating in the winter and giving birth to 2 bear cubs while hibernating. It also talks about what bears do through out the other seasons which pretty much is eat, eat, and eat some more. W boy had some trouble recognizing the seasons in the story. We will still be reading this story a few more times and hopefully W boy will have a deeper understanding of the different seasons in later readings.

Below is W boy's drawing of the story. He said to notice Una in his picture is smiling.

Earlier in the morning, W boy also finished writing "counting up to 100". This time, instead of typing the numbers on the computer, W boy wrote in the missing numbers. He still needs some practice with recognizing numbers from 12-30. After 30, he seem to really know his numbers.


The numbers in a box are ones that W boy wrote. I forgot to put a box around 100 but he wrote that as well.
