Edmonds teacher Jennie Warmouth is making the most of her young students’ interest in wildlife.

Warmouth gently reminds the class that black bears eat meat and plants.

One day in mid-December, Warmouth is online with her second graders, who are learning about black bears.

“Today we’re going to consider one of the skills our three little baby black bears need to learn before they’re released back into the wild,” Warmouth says over Zoom.

“We want to think like bears,” Warmouth says.
