BEARS

Submitted by Stephanie Giuffre St. Monica Early Childhood

 

Just as all of us have very best friends, Franklin has a very special friend too.  His name is Bear.  As a class, we have been writing down the things that Bear has been teaching us about himself in the Franklin stories.  We have also been studying facts about Bears that live in the wild and have compared our two findings!  These are "THE BARE FACTS."
