Insects( Boxelder Bugs)







It feels so good to be back in the classroom with a room full of blessings!  We have been learning about the Easter Story and insects!  Hmmm, I guess we will say the connection is NEW LIFE!

Before we left for break, we found a Boxelder bug crawling in the classroom and then several dead ones up in the light fixture, so we decided to start our study on insects and the students and teachers are having a blast.  I apologize for the "beautiful" creations that came home yesterday, but the students had so much fun recalling what they learned from our story about beetles and then creating their own beetle with "odds and ends" from the classroom!  SO. MUCH. FUN watching their little brains create!

This week we will introduce the letter V and the sound that it makes!  We will also be doing several rhyming activities.  Rhyming is a great activity to do at home with your child.  It's not time consuming, it's fun, and such an important language and literacy skill.
