Baffling Bugs

This week we learned about bugs. While everybody was getting here, the kids played with pretend food and plastic animals.

 

 

Then we had Circle Time. Blake was very good at singing the "Days of the Week" song.



 

 

Next we did the Letter Bag and Show-and-Tell. Our letter this week was B. In our Letter Bag there was a blanket, a baby doll, and more. At Show-and-Tell there was a Buzz Lightyear and a teddy bear.

 

 

To start off we read "The Crunching Munching Caterpillar." Then we decorated coffee filters with markers and squirt them with water so the colors would mix. After that we made pom-pom caterpillars and glued them on clothes pins. When our caterpillars were dry, we put them in cocoons (paper bags) to see if they would become butterflies. (The decorated coffee filters were later attached to the clothes pins to make wings.)

 Afterwards, we read the "Greedy Bee." Then we danced the Bumble Bee Boogie. Everyone danced while the music was playing, but when the music stopped, Everyone stood on whatever type of pad Miss Lauren called out. (i.e. a blue pad or a square pad)

 

For snack we had " butter-fly toast." Using a milk-based paint, the children painted toast in the shape of butterflies. We also drank nectar, apple juice, from our flower cups using a proboscis, straw.





 

 

Next we played Hide-and-Go Seek, but we added a "buggy" twist. When one of the kids was found, we tapped them with our giant fly swatter.

 

 

Later we learned about ants. We glued an anthill onto our paper and we made fingerprint ants all around the hill.

 

 

Finally, we went outside and played Mosquito Tag. We each got a sheet of red dots which we called the mosquito bites. Then we ran around and tried to stick as many dots on each other as we could.

Bye for now!
