activities: Children will imagine picking, yanking, tugging a strawberry off
the vine. Teacher will model these movements.

Self-Evaluation/Assessment: I had the children show me with their

face and body what they looked like when picking the strawberry. We talked
about how they felt when they heard the bear was coming. I asked the
children what we said after we heard the bear each time. I asked the children
if they have ever hidden anything and what was it. During snack we ate
strawberries.

Skills and student behaviors to be worked on next time:

Every child enjoyed this activity. It is very important to make sure all of the
childrens choices and gestures and all of the character components go back
in the Magic Bag and be returned to where it is being stored for next time
use.
