I was cleaning out his closet this weekend and we found a Teddy Bear he had purchased for his first girlfriend he didn’t get the opportunity to give her. Instead of throwing the #TeddyBear away we placed her in our #Homerschool Library.
On days were feeling sad we can get the Teddy Bear to cuddle with. Or if my Nieces and Nephews are over they can pick some of the books to read to the Animals we have in our Library. This morning when I was straightening up the house Charlie came and sat down with me to work on some applications for his job.
To keep myself busy I put together a Lesson Plan on Teddy Bears and I thought you might want to use it for your students. Remind your students when there studying Teddy Bears they can bring there Teddy Bear to class and they can even wear there PJs. I found Cute Teddy Bear Design For Men Women Kids Teddy Bear Lover T-Shirt for myself.

About:
A teddy bear is a stuffed toy in the form of a bear. Developed apparently simultaneously by toymakers Morris Michtom in the U.S. and Richard Steiff under his aunt Margarete Steiff‘s company in Germany in the early 20th century, the teddy bear, named after President Theodore Roosevelt, became a popular children’s toy and has been celebrated in story, song, and film.[1]
Since the creation of the first teddy bears (which sought to imitate the form of real bear cubs), “teddies” have greatly varied in form, style, color, and material. They have become collector’s items, with older and rarer teddies appearing at public auctions.[2] Teddy bears are among the most popular gifts for children, and they are often given to adults to signify affection, congratulations, or sympathy.
