Building a Story
Students divide a piece of paper into six parts. In the first section they write the beginning of an adventure story with the ImagiNations teddy bear as the main character. For the remaining five sections, they pull an object out of the ImagiNations box and incorporate it into the story.

Personal Reflections
Students write a letter home, from the perspective of the ImagiNations teddy bear, that describes what the student has done at school that week, what went well for the student and what the student should work on in the upcoming week.

Book Talk
Students are provided with a variety of books about bears or teddy bears. Students make a selection and create a presentation about the book for the class. Students chose from a variety of forms such as soap sculptures, mobiles detailing the main events, a letter to a friend, a poster or a diorama as a way to share the book.
