Insects, Insects Everywhere!!

It all started with grasshoppers. We usually do not have many grasshoppers on our playground, but they were everywhere this year! Then it went from grasshoppers to all the bugs! They were even catching and petting spiders! All the kids wanted to do was catch bugs to observe in our science area! 







They were fascinated! We learned how Katydids and grasshoppers were different. 




I set up some areas for them to explore! We learned how to use our art materials for science as we created observational drawings like scientists and see what we notice about insects when we look closer!



















They made beautiful webs with glue and glitter after observing what they looked like! They were very excited as they learned about spiders agreeing they were creepy, but very, very interesting! I forgot to take a picture of their webs!

They started really focusing on bees, especially when they learned how important they are. They found out bees are what helps create more flowers, apples, strawberries, pumpkins, etc. They decided to create a project about bees.











This is still not finished! They made a queen bee and we are going to connect these bees with what we learn about the pumpkin life cycle to finish our display! The finished project will be in the next post!
