Bear Says Thanks Kindergarten Literature Unit

We have a another new seasonal Kindergarten Literature Unit Study Printable Pack which is expanded to include more activities than our units in the past! Celebrate November with this new set based on the book Bear Says Thanks by Karma Wilson, which focuses on being thankful!

Set the stage for your unit by gathering extra books and some toys! It helps to draw your child in and get her/him excited about your learning time together.

Don’t have a lot of toys and books to go along with this book? Ask friends, go to the library, or buy some things you think might be a good long term investment for your homeschool!

Be sure to purchase the book Bear Says Thanks or check it out from your library. In addition to the main book, I recommend adding in other BEAR books and books about being THANKFUL to bring the theme alive!

Here is my post featuring downloadable library checklists for Thanksgiving books!

For this unit, I selected several Kindergarten Math and Literacy Goals to focus on.

There are over 20 activities to keep your Kindergartener engaged for quite awhile! Many tots, preschoolers and even 1st graders will enjoy this set! The main focus is Kindergarten but that isn’t exclusive! Below you can see a collage of all the printables included! Click each image to enlarge!

This book is from the wonderful series of The Bear Books by Karma Wilson. You’ll find rhyming text and a sweet message to share with your children. The printables were created to go along with the story as you will see in the photos below! Connecting your activities to a book is such a great way to weave a literacy rich learning environment into your homeschool in such a natural and fun way!

Have fun retelling the story and expanding comprehension with our comprehension questions, photo cards, and sequencing activities!

Explore beginning sounds, animal names, tracing, sight words, positional words, rhyming and more with these fun activities!

Explore important Kindergarten math concepts with several different activities.
