Last Thursday, many of the students from the Catbird classroom along with their teacher, Carol, came to deliver a special visitor to Sandy and Valerie's classroom. It was "Bear Witness" a giant teddy bear that is spending time observing in Lower School classrooms. "Bear Witness" arrived in a wagon and spent the night, anxious to see what the second graders would be up to the next day! "Bear Witness" was lucky enough to see the "birth" of all of the handmade teddy bears that the students had worked on all week with the help of many family members.
"Bear Witness" travels with a journal that, with the help of the students, is a place for recording all that "Bear Witness" sees. At the end of the day, the second graders returned "Bear Witness" to the Catbirds and shared the journal entry.
To bear witness:
To prove something as true
To lift up an experience
To demonstrate your beliefs
And we will continue to build our understanding.
