BUGS!

What a fun week! I think one of my favorite units is bugs! I think the kids love it too! :) On Tuesday we learned some facts about different bugs. The kids looked at some pictures of bugs and tried to guess the names of them. It also was our letter 'B' week, which goes perfect with bugs. The kids made bees out of B's. :) We also worked on our colors by playing a color bug game. The kids took turns picking bugs out of a bag and then had to decide which color jar to put them then.

On Wednesday we learned about butterflies, which is one of the prettiest bugs! We also played a butterfly memory game. The kids had to try to find the butterflies matching wings.

They also were able to make a butterfly by painting just one wing and then folding their paper together. The kids loved opening their papers to see both wings appear!

We, as in I, sang a song "flutter, flutter, butterfly" while wearing a butterfly mask and pretending to fly around the room. I guess making a fool of myself worked because a few of the children decided to join in. :) 

We also had a birthday this week. Happy Birthday to Davin! :)

On Thursday we had our Bug Zoo, which is always a hit. The kids loved making their own bug jars and then hunting for bugs in the Bug Zoo!

I thought it was "cool" enough to play outside today for a few minutes. The kids were very excited about that! They were also excited that they could choose a bug to take home in their bug jar!
More fun with bugs next week!
