Parent Guide > The Great Woolly Bear Hunt

This week in class, we’re reading "The Great Woolly Bear Hunt" by Craig W. Steele.

In Craig W. Steele's poem "The Great Woolly Bear Hunt," a speaker searches for a creature known as a woolly bear.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge and Human vs. Nature as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How do we understand the world around us?" and "How do we view nature?"

Ways to support your child:

• Ask your child about this poem at home:
  • What was "The Great Woolly Bear Hunt" about?
  • What did you learn about Education & Knowledge?
  • What did you learn about Human vs. Nature?
• Watch the following clips with your child at home:
  • 'Butterfly or Moth? '
  • 'Animal Fact Friday - Woolly Bear Caterpillar '
