Bugs and Insects!

We've all gone buggy this week!  The children are having so much fun with all kinds of bugs and even enjoying going on Bug Hunts on the playground!  Ladybugs have given us the opportunity for some neat math activities by putting certain number of spots on the ladybugs.  The children also talked about how many legs spiders and insects have. 

For Language Arts, several classrooms practiced spelling their names by making a caterpillar with the letters in their name.  Our letter of the week is "g" so we did "g is for goose".  One classroom got really creative and made "g is for grasshopper" to stick with our theme! 

 

We also made bugs from fingerprints, created bugs on clips, and made ladybugs with crackers, strawberries, and raisins for our cooking project!

 

It's fun to see all the bugs coming out in the Spring but I'm sure not ready to see mosquitoes!! EEEKKK!
