My Project

My students are busy learning about bugs and bug habitats.

With Spring coming my students will be exploring bugs more outside.

The children need bug catchers to catch bugs to look at. I am also requesting a bug hotel for the children to discover different bugs from around the area. It will be exciting to see the different bugs that decided to make the hotel their new habitat. Some books have been requested. The children love hearing books read aloud.

The children are very focused lately on ants. The children would love to have an ant farm in the room to see how ants make tunnels.
