Insects and Bugs

The warmer weather is definitely bringing out all the insects so it's time to learn more about them!  The children compared bugs to spiders to discover that bugs have only 6 legs while spiders have 8!  They also talked about the different body parts of a bug. 

Of course, a fun game is always great while learning!  Some of the classes played Bug Charades so that they could get a better understanding of how different bugs move and live.

Our little 1 year olds learned the song "Bringing Home a Baby Bumble Bee".  They absolutely loved it and had so much fun with the screams! 

During recess, everyone was on the lookout for bugs!  We sure did chase a lot of them but never had any luck in catching them!

Bugs and insects also started popping up all over the school- ones we made of course! 

Our letter of the week was l so the children made "l is for ladybug".

Even our cooking project was all about ladybugs!  Our little chefs had to carefully create these adorable ladybug crackers to enjoy!
