1 Teddy Bear Workshop ~ A Returning Developer ~ For further information contact Jill Whitley O Leary Berkley Charter 5420 Berkley Road Auburndale, FL (Courier route B) jill.oleary@polk-fl.net n PROGRAM OVERVIEW Teddy Bear Workshop is a fun integrated six week program using bears to cover a wide range of objectives, including Reading, Math, Writing, Science and Social Studies. The students learn facts about real bears through reading passages, books, internet and class discussion. Students bring in their teddy bears to read to them, write stories, interview the bears, and do math activities involving their personal teddy bears. One of the students favorite activities is gummy bear math. Students graph their bag of gummy bears and solve all strands of math such as fractions, computation, problem solving, geometry, time, and multiplication on a teacher made worksheet for whole class practice. My program excites the students by allowing them to review math skills, concepts, and reading practices by using teddy bears every child s first toy! I close the unit by having a Berkley Build a Bear Workshop. Each child constructs a paper bag bear by following directions, visiting stations to decorate, stuff, and glue the bears. As an extra resource, if funding allows, the class visits the Build a Bear Workshop and builds a real stuffed bear once in December where the students build a bear to give away to needy families in our Berkley toy drive and another time in May when the students make one for themselves. It s one of their favorite memories of second grade. n OVERALL VALUE By using Teddy Bears we accomplish the goals of public schooling by making it innovative and enticing correlating with a child s best friend his teddy bear. Students make meaningful connections among musical, linguistic, mathematical, scientific, social and creative ideas. They not only get to learn facts about real animals but the students apply the information into creative projects that they can be proud of. I have five students who are substantially deficient and in my bottom twenty-five percent who need extra help. Our school is not Title I although we have 33% of our students on free and reduced lunch. Berkley Charter made AYP last year and my average Star Reading scores in the beginning of the year was 1.4 (which means the students were reading on a first grade after the fourth month level) and 3.2 (which means the students were reading on a third grade level after the second month level) at the end of the year. My average math scores were 61% at the beginning of the year and 88% at the end of the year. n LESSON PLAN TITLES Gummy Bear Math Teddy Bear Introduction and Comparison Blubber Mitten Activity Bear Art Workshop n MATERIALS Zippable baggies, construction paper, and brown bags from grocery store. n ABOUT THE DEVELOPER Jill O Leary graduated from the University of South Florida with a B.S., in Elementary Ed.
