We enjoyed a buggy week of fun!
| The students surveyed 10 friends and used the data to answer the questions. |
| We read I Like Bugs by Margaret Wise Brown and I created this pocket chart. The students can change the adjectives to describe bugs. |
| The students pick 2 buggy cards to make a high number then a low number. The student spins the spinner to find which numbers to circle - odd or even. |
| The student picks 2 buggy cards to create an addition sentence. |
| The students pick 2 buggy cards to create a subtraction sentence. |
| The students followed directions to draw The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The directions are from Making Learning Fun. |
| We made blotto butterflies! |
| We read non-fiction books about moths and butterflies then compared them. |
| The students used the Venn diagram to write facts about moths and butterflies. |
| The students used the spinner to create caterpillar patterns using dot markers. |
| The students found caterpillars crawling around the room to write the days of the week. |
| Some students circled their favorite day of the week and wrote a sentence about why it was their favorite day. |
| After reading lots of non-fiction books about ladybugs we created this circle map. |
| The students wrote ladybug facts using the circle map as a resource. |
We enjoyed the story of The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle. Below are some text to self responses the students wrote.
| Shhhh! Hibernating ladybugs! |
| The students sorted U word families. |
| The students made a bee with 3 body parts. We read books about bumblebees and honeybees. The students made a tree map about honeybees. |
| The students will use the tree map to write honeybee facts. The students are working on this so I don't have a picture :( |
Below are pictures of the students working in small groups to write and illustrate the life cycle of a ladybug, a butterfly, or an ant.
We made the appetizing ants together then wrote and illustrated the steps to making the ants.
| Look at our April quilt! |
| I just had to share this sweet note from one of my students! |
