Bear In a Cave (from TCPL Kids)
Here is a cave, inside is a bear. (curl into a ball)
Now he comes out to get some fresh air. (stand up)
He stays out all summer in sunshine and heat. (fan yourself)
He hunts in the forest for berries to eat.
When snow starts to fall, (hands fall like snow)
He hurries inside his warm little cave and there he will hide. (curl back into a ball)
When Spring comes again,
The snow melts away.
And out comes the bear ready to play. (stand up and growl)

Literacy tip of the week: When we pretend in songs and rhymes we are learning how to use our imagination, which is important when learning to read.
