Bug Week!

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



Creating Egg Carton Caterpillars  


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!
