This week we learned about bugs....we did a lot of bee activities! Pre-K 2 used bubble wrap to paint a big beehive!
Next, they made bees for the hive.
They marble painted them and added coffee filter wings.
Here's some of them, super duper cute.
And here they are on the beehive!
We had a bee Morning Message during the week...
Then Pre-K 1 borrowed the bubble wrap and made mini beehives.
After painting them, we added bees.
Some peas wanted theirs hung in the tree in our classroom, others took theirs home.
We laced bug lacing cards.
And looked at a 3D bug book!
We worked on cutting and math...
and made bug shapes at centers.
Pre-K 2 journaled about bugs this week.
Aren't Pre-K drawings precious?
Pre-K 1 made the butterfly life cycle and practiced our handwriting in the process.
Ms. Amy had an amazing microscope to look at bugs through.
Pre-K 1 did a magnified bug art project. We talked about what bugs look like under the microscope, then drew large versions of what we think we would see.
They drew them, then painted them.
Sweetest bugs you have ever seen.
See?
Both classes also played in the sensory table with bugs and bug catchers.
Next, we introduced the peas to the famous "Flight of the Bumblebee" written by Nikolai Rimsky-
And here's the peas very obviously in high motion!!
To wrap up the week Ms. Amy brought supplies to make these adorable ladybug snack crafts:
Along with the snack, there was a math worksheet they filled out counting their chocolate chip "dots" on their ladybugs back.
Here's one finished!
It was a hit, they loved it!
And they were salty and sweet and delicious. Thanks Ms. Amy!
Well, now we're caught up on blog posts. ;) As we move into May we are concentrating more and more on graduation. It's going to be the stinkin' cutest thing you've ever laid eyes on. Have a great week!
