Room 3, Room 3, what do you see?

I see 33 Brown Bears looking at me!

This completes our Eric Carle Kinder sessions.
Room 3 had chosen "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" out of the series and has some absolutely stunning, big, brown and awesomely creative bears to show off now.

Again the kids had made "colored paper" as in the previous sessions/rooms and then traced and cut out their bear bodies, legs and head.
All body parts were pasted onto a green or blue background and then important details like eyes, ears, toe nails and bows were added with black oil pastel.

After the kids had finished their work I told them to go wash up and get ready for a field trip to a special zoo.

All of them were SOOO excited and were talking about "what zoo?" and "if we'd go on a bus" and so on.

I had them all line up, hands behind the back (so the animals could not bite them  ... or the better so they would not touch the still drying art pieces) and took them to a VERY SPECIAL Brown Bear exhibit, right in their class room.

They had so much fun and whenever we walked to a new table we gave it a special name like "the soccer bear exhibit".

This  is was a great way for the kids to see all the wonderful creations and everybody got a big round of applause from their co-artists. 

So please enjoy the tour through the "Brown Bear" exhibit at Curtner Elementary Zoo ;)

I LOVE the little guy below.
He totally looks like he is being chased by a swarm of bees after steeling their honey.

This guy looks like he is whistling a nice bear song ;)

And he is REALY running ;)

He looks just so happy.

I love this fella. You really can see the texture and the design in the paper.

Proud as could be!

I love how some of the body parts are a wee bit out of place.
This is true Kindergarden work!
This was all about the process of making the paper, tracing and cutting and NOT about creating the PERFECT bear.

Each and every example is perfect in its own way.
Just PERFECT!

Excellent work Room3!

Room 3 is "Where The Wild Things Are"!
I LOVE these kiddos, they are so happy and excited.
And they give the BEST group hugs EVER.
You haven't lived life until you have been hugged by 33 five year olds ... all at the same time!

I can not wait to watch all these Kinder kids become 1st Graders.
First Grade teachers get ready for an AWESOME group of little people!

Bear Art Attack on Room 3 was VERY sucessful!
