Mrs. Adam's classed fiished a unit on families this week with the story of the Three Bears. They celebrated by eating bear cookies and tasting porridge. Students gave a thumbs up if they liked it and a thumbs down if they didn’t . All but 3 students liked it! 🤪To finish up they acted out the story. This was completely un- rehearsed, but it was so cute and fun!
