We collected bug outside and drew a representative picture of them. We collected mostly worms and ants, but it was fun to watch them squirm around. The questions we asked ourselves while collecting were: Where did you find the bug? Was it wet or dry? Was it underneath something?
We also took a close look at soil. We learned that soil is made up of dead plants, dead bugs, and small, medium, and large rocks.
Lastly, we worked on our colors by coloring a bug book. Each bug had a different color and the kids enjoyed learning the names of these new bugs.
For our art project on Thursday we made our own underground critters. They were complete with pain, googly eyes, feathers, and sparkles! Quite creative!
We will still continue to talk about bugs over the next week or so, but we are moving on into our Sunderland Community mini unit. We will talk about all the places and things that surround our school.
We learned a new game at Circle Time this week. It was the I have ______, Who has _________? game. Each student was given a card and has to say out loud "I have (the red triangle), Who has the (blue diamond). We go around the circle until all shapes have been named. It was a great review for shapes and colors.
If you visit our classroom, you will notice that we have hung up our Hyacinth paintings and our Seed growth pictures. Check them out! Children did a great job of drawing the changes that their pea plants underwent over the last few weeks.
We will be sending home plants this week. Your child should come home with a flower plant and a pea plant to plant in your yard or to keep going indoors.
