Hug a Bear Day November 7th

While preparing my November calendar for my lil love muffin's binders today (nothing like waiting til the day) I found that next Monday, November 7th was HUg a Bear Day! I plan on celebrating this day by allowing the kids to bring their favorite Teddy to school (of course, he/she must fit in a backpack)! What fun...right?!?!

My plan is to do a one day mini unit or a week long bear study. I have a few ideas and have been searching for BEARy nice activities on various websites and blogs. My question blogging buddies is...Are any of you planning to celebrate this day AND/OR do you have any bear activities your students love that you'd like to share? I'm open for ideas as iv never done a bear unit in my classroom!

Have a great week bloggers...only 3 weeks until Thanksgiving!!! Can you even believe that?!?!
