Bb Is For Bear

 A couple of weeks ago William George's letter of the week was "Bb". In addition to many awesome activities, the class loaded up for a fun field trip to Build-a-Bear Workshop where they built their newest classmate, Brownie Bear.

The class voted on which bear would be chosen...

 And they carefully built it...

They voted on whether the class bear would be a boy or girl, and they voted on his name.

They danced and sang to give Brownie Bear all the good qualities he would need to succeed in 5K.

Finally, they stuffed him...

 And bathed him...

And they carefully chose outfits.

 Brownie Bear is a Braves fan, and he has Batman pajamas. This class of 12 boys won the majority of votes, but the four girls were allowed to pick out a girl outfit, too.

Brownie received lots of love from  his classmates that day.  

He, of course, rode the carousel, the escalator and the elevators.  He has also begun visiting his classmates by going home with them.

After the hard work of bear building, Mrs. S had arranged a feast of CFA... and a cookie cake... and ice cream!

George had such an awesome day, and he will never, ever forget that "Bb" is for BEAR.

PS: The next day, fun Friday, was bring-a-bear to school day, and George took "Henry Bear" for the occasion. He borrowed the outfit from his birthday bear for Henry, and off they went!
