Real Live Butterflies and Ladybugs for Spring Unit

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Landi Johnson's classroom raised $233

My Project

This project is perfect for our Spring Unit. My preschoolers will love learning about insects in a fun and exciting way. We will explore insects by reading an engaging book about ladybugs, using butterfly counters for math, and using insect stickers for our art projects.

The highlight of this project will be experiencing the life cycle of a butterfly and ladybug firsthand.

This is an engaging way to learn about the world around them. Preschoolers are fascinated with bugs and this project will be memorable and enhance their learning in our classroom.

My goal for this project is to excite my students through science as they learn more about a theme they already love...insects!
