Lily our Classroom Bear

We have begun to watch a black bear hibernate live via the internet. Her name is Lily. Lily has had a cub this winter. I keep Lily up all day in our class. Periodically throughout the day the children go and check on Lily. The internet is providing the class with a wonderful learning experience. You can even check on Lily at your house. All you need to do is go to www.bear.org to watch Lily. We have read books about bears and have made coffee bears to display in our hall. The children really love learning about Lily. Sleep tight Lily, it is almost Spring!
