I is for Insect

We spent last week learning all about insects. We read lots of books about all kinds of different critters and learned many interesting facts. Of course we also had to make a few of our own...

Ants,


Bees,


Butterflies (symmetrical ones--you can only see half here!),


And caterpillars.


Look at that determination!


I also practiced my cutting skills


And tried some new kinds of math. I was doing subtraction!


We had to play Cooties, of course, and build our own bugs.


I always like when food is involved in the learning process. We got to eat Cheetos and see the orange stuff that gets left behind on our fingers. It's kind of like pollen sticking to bees when they fly from flower to flower!


We also tried some honeycomb.


Delicious! We may not like that they sting, but we sure do like what bees make!


The weather was nice one afternoon, so we got to play outside for a bit. We drew some insects and wrote letters on them. Mommy called out a letter, and we had to swat the right bug! That was a fun game!


We also learned about the number 2 and even made one out of yarn. Obviously that was a very exciting thing for me!



And, of course, the wonderful wall of work. We're always so proud to look back on what we studied all week!
