Another Celebrated Dancing Bear

Bethany and I have been reading the book "Another Celebrated Dancing Bear" this week. The main lesson plan comes from Five in a Row Volume 1. We are having a good time with this fun book. The story is about two bears who are best friends. One of the bears is a dancer with the Russian circus.

So far we have learned about Russia--using books from the library, maps and our geography book, talked about the calendar and making/keeping appointments, talked about the different vocabulary words ("glum", "greeted with a wave", etc.) and reviewed what we learned about bears (from early this month).
Tomorrow we will work on time and occupations with a spot of tea in the afternoon. Come join us, won't you?

Another homeschooler's ideas and plans for this book. Lots of good links.
