Teddy Bear Day in Maine, USA

On Teddy Bear Day we all brought our teddy bears to school. The bears worked with us. They did dot-to-dots and read with us, and we made them their own paper bears, and they even came to Morning Meeting. No bears were allowed in the lunch room, and no bears were allowed in the Art Room because they make messes. We had lots of fun.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF TEDDYBEARS

Soft, fluffy, with a crooked ear or with a path. 25th of November is a holiday of the most lovable plaything, the best children's friend and an irreplaceable cuddly toy - a teddybear.

International Day of Teddybears started right in the 100th anniversary of the toy - in 2002.


In our library there is a huge collection of teddybears: big and small, white and colourful, more and less fluffy. We also discover a history of the holiday, the most famous bears, books about teddybears and bears. In the exposition there can be also found poems about bears and beautiful portaits of teddybears created by school's day-room pupils.

We invite you to visit our exposition.

Teddy Floppy-Ears - my friend

Miś Uszatek (loosely translated as Teddy Floppy-Ears) is a Polish character from the book and animated TV series of the same name. He was created jointly by Polish writer Czesław Janczarski and cartoonist Zbigniew Rychlicki.



Teddy Floppy-Ears and friends


Miś Uszatek and his friends - Prosiaczek (Piglet), Króliczki (Little Rabbits) and Zajączek (Little Hare), as well as Kruczek the Puppy - were loved by pre-teen kids. At the same time, Uszatek, a teddy bear, played the role of a friend from kindergarten.



He was also liked by parents, as he would always go to bed at appropriate hour, singing the goodnight song:
"It's time to go to bed, as the moon is shining.
Kids like teddy bears, teddy bears like kids”.

Teddy Floppy-Ears



The cartoon is also popular in other countries. In Finland it is known as Nalle Luppakorva, and in Slovenia as Medvedek Uhec; both nations still play it on a regular basis. Also, in Hungary it is known as Füles Mackó, in Catalonia (Spain) as Les històries de l'osset Faluc, in Macedonia as Мечето Ушко (Mecheto Ushko), in the Netherlands as Teddy Hangoor and in Japan as Oyasumi Kuma-chan.

We draw a portrait of the bear.

PIKI JAKOB, MY FRIEND

This is the book we were working on in past weeks. It has 20 chapters, so we spent quite some time listening to the stories about Piki Jakob.
