My Project

My children are going to learn to communicate and work together. They will talk about the different outcomes of the Ladybugs, Butterflies and Praying Mantis, such as their different stages in the life cycle. They will learn how bugs and plants benefit each other as they watch the roots grow in the water. Making science fun!! Our children will be able to put the floor puzzles together as they learn about the different seasons. While using these puzzles, we can discuss how different plants react and grow in different seasons.
