Bug
Week, which was
introduced prior to break and concluded this week, was rich in
multiple and varied activities!
Information was gleaned as we
read topic related fiction and non-fiction literature. We named and viewed a myriad of bugs within
these books throughout our study. The
children learned that all insects are bugs, but not all bugs are insects,
unless of course they have six legs.
Our Bug
theme was reflected throughout the classroom! Magnifying glasses were
used to get a better look at a variety of toy bugs and insects at our fine
motor tables.
Other Bug
Activities included:
Stitching
Matching
Magnetic Bug
Train
The Cootie
Game
We also
enjoyed a class game entitled; "Bumble Bee, Bumble Bee, Someone took Your
Flower"!
At the
art table the children enjoyed
Bug
Stamps
Creating
Spiders
Paint & Fold Butterflies
Making
and eating "dirt cups" was without a doubt the most fun of all!
We also
Searched for Bugs Outdoors!
Many
thanks to Krista, who concluded her semester of Student Teaching with us this
week. We wish her well at the College of
St. Rose this coming Fall.
It was great to be back at school! The children had a terrific week!
Have a fun and restful weekend!
