We've Gone Buggy!

I can't believe Easter is here and we have less than a month of school left! Where has the year gone?  

Here is a Spring craft we did to replace our clovers.  We made bird house wind catchers. 

In Science we did our insect unit.  We learned about the parts of an insect and some other characteristics about them as well.  We focused on two main types of insects in this short week.  We learned about fireflies and bees.

Here is a firefly craft that we started.  We attached our wings and a clothespin to the back to make our firefly become a magnet. 

We also learned that insects have compound eyes.   Compound eyes are where an insects has more lenses in their regular eyes which makes it hard for them to see.  We used our buggy eyes to look through to see how an insect sees. 

They had to look at their partner and draw what they saw in their buggy eye viewers. 

Here is our insect anchor chart that we started off our unit with. 

Our bee anchor chart. 

Our firefly anchor chart. 

For an Easter activity we did my teacher's aide and myself hid some eggs for the Kindergartners around the room. 

Here they are finding their eggs. 

Some have already found their eggs. 

Enjoying some goodies in our eggs. 

Decorating our own Easter egg.  We did this activity along with reading the book The Easter Egg by Jan Brett. 

The finished product!

I hope everyone has a blessed Easter with your family and friends!

Happy Easter!
