The book also listed titles of bear books at varying ages, and even chapter books. As a teacher this assists in choosing appropriate materials for my classroom and students. I enjoy having lesson ideas which have worked well for others in the past. All of the curriculum guides that I found had literature and language adaptations for children. Bears lessons do not always have to involve information.
Bears are fun animals, so teachers are able to use food as motivation.
An example is by using gummy bears in counting for math activities. There can be Fridays where the children bring in teddy bear snacks. There is a lot of information about the different types of bears and their habits of sleeping and eating. This helps the children to understand bears easier, the amount of information also depends on the grade level of the children. When children are very young they can be read to in order to improve their imaginations, vocabulary, knowledge, and creativity.
