APRIL

This time of year always starts to go by SO FAST. Suddenly it's the last week of April, and I realized I haven't blogged all month long. We have had a great month thinking about spring and insects, especially the two live insects we have been studying. Here are a few highlights!

Flowers in the Spring

We explored flowers with sensory play and art.

Bugs and Insects

We learned about bugs, and explored how insects have certain characteristics like 6 legs, 2 antannae, and 3 body parts. We also thought about how insects help our world. 

Ladybugs and Butterflies

We started our life cycle study with 2 live insects this year- ladybugs and butterflies. Both of these insects go through a metamorphosis, and we've been comparing their different stages and waiting to see which one hatches first. 

We've done different activities along with this, including making art, writing in our journals, and reading our favorite books. 

Friendship Fun

I've also been trying to encourage some more cooperative types of play in the classroom, and we've been trying our some partner activities as one way to work and play together. 

We've enjoyed welcoming spring this month, even though we had some lingering winter weather...

I can't believe we're already getting ready for our last month of school! It's going to be a lot of fun!
