🐻🌿 PreK-3 Goes on a Bear Hunt! 🌿🐻
Our PreK-3 students wrapped up a week of learning about wild animals with an exciting Bear Hunt adventure! After reading fiction and nonfiction books about bears, practicing counting and rhyming songs, and building bear caves and dens, students grabbed their binoculars and headed outside to search for clues.
They discovered berries, footprints, and other signs of wildlife in the garden area — but no bears were spotted at the LCDC! 😉
We love seeing our youngest Leopards learning through play and taking their learning outdoors. #LovejoyProud
