Winnie-the-Pooh
"Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved."
-Winnie the Pooh
In this week's library classes we returned to our Red Clover reading program with Sally Walker's nonfiction title, Winnie: The True Story of the Bear Who Inspired Winnie-the-Pooh. Ms. Walker dutifully tells the authentic tale of how a motherless bear found and purchased at a Canadian rail station went on to become the world's most beloved bear. From the book, learners enjoyed discovering the origin of the "Pooh Bear" story, watched a snippet of the Disney version of Pooh, and got to color their own picture to keep. Some classes also had the opportunity to listen to last year's Caldecott Winner Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World's Most Famous Bear by Lindsay Mattick. In those classes we worked on our compare/contrast critical thinking skills - as this title is fiction, but tells a similar tale about Winnie.
As usual, it was another great week of classes! As I've mentioned before in this blog, it is an honor to get to share my love of reading and learning with your child(ren) each week.
