My students had the most fun (of course) with the positional bear snores on emergent reader (Included in my Karma Wilson Author Study, click on Brown Bear, Brown Bear, Where are you snoring author study packet).  My students thought it would be funny to make snoring sounds while they were moving the bear around the book.  They loved this and it was so cute how excited they get about our positional words book! 





Our bear goes everywhere with us...  even into march with dr. seuss and march weather!


 I hope you enjoy!
