Bugs, Bugs, Bugs! We Love Bugs!
This month, the Kinder Bunnies started their entomology study by looking at various bugs. We started with bees, ants, and ladybugs. Of course, a revisit with spiders is always fun. After reading The Best Bug Parade by Holly Keller, https://youtu.be/MJvjqXeo-eo, we also investigated super worms.
We used dice and our counting skills to create ladybug addition art. We're working on more bug projects as the month moves along. * This activity came from Whimsy Workshop Teaching.
When students have a chance to interact with nature, they develop many skills. We counted our worms, compared their sizes, and noticed their speed and what they liked to eat. They also learned how to care for other living things. Their conversations were filled with new vocabulary words, and they formed honest opinions based on first-hand experiences.
Happy Counting!
