Focus:
We are buggin' for Spring weather! Our next unit of study is BUGS! The children will use nets and magnify glasses to discover real bugs and insects. We will observe the different characteristics of each bug and see how they are the same and how they are different. The children will learn where the bugs live and what they eat. Our class will also have fun acting out and re-telling simple stories and poems.
Core Concepts:
Week 1 (April 7th-April 11th) What are bugs and insects?
Week 2 (April 14th-April 18th) Which bugs and insects fly and which ones crawl?
Week 3 (April 21st-April 25th) What do bugs and insects look like?
Week 4 (April 28th-May 2nd) Where do bugs live? What is the life cycle of a butterfly?
Skills:
Re-telling a story
Patterns
Descriptive words
Categorizing
Answering “Wh” questions
Literacy:
The Very Busy Spider, Eric Carle
Are You a Grasshopper, Judy Allen
The Very Clumsy Click Beetle, Eric Carle
