Maple Street School Walking Tour
Kids from Maple Street School took a walking tour of the bears in Easthampton. What a field trip!
By Austin Paret Grade 1 Center School
Some of the bears make me hungry. Gingerbear Man makes me want to eat him. When I see Fishing Bear I drool. Jellybean Bear makes me hop up and down. Birthday Bear makes me feel like I’m one year older. The bears are so tasty with flavors of happiness.
By Noah Johnson Grade 1 Center School
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Bears are awesome.
I love the bears, they are so, so awesome!
By Aurora Meehan Grade 1 Center School
I like the bear called Aurora Bearalis, that bear makes me happy. The bear called Bear, Bath and Beyond makes me want to take a bath in the tub. The Porkie pine bear is very prickly. I love the bears!
