Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. This seems to be what the kids are really interested in these days. We have moved on from butterflies and ants to ladybugs and beetles (we learned a ladybug is a beetle actually). These kids will be little ecologists by the end of the summer!
We had a lot of fun learning about different types of beetles such as Dung beetles, Rhinoceros beetles and ground beetles, and where they live, what they eat, and their natural behaviours. It’s always exciting when they get to see what we are learning about in the real world. We were fortunate to come across ladybugs, worms, a caterpillar, always ants, and even a few ground beetles. Exploring nature has been one of the highlights of our warm spring days.
Together we made tiny bugs out of buttons, pipe cleaners and hot glue. We also made button bugs, paper beetle hand puppets and bug hotels out of pinecones, dandelions, twigs, etc.
The kids worked hard on their block colour patterns, letter building with our letter construction kit and building faces our of rocks to show varying emotions.
We also had fun jumping on our hop scotch, hula hooping, throwing frisbees, colouring the sidewalk and climbing rocks. The kids ran through water and got sprayed with the hose. What a great morning it was for a little spray down after taking the Bella dog for a run!
