Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend! I got to have some much needed family time with cousins and was able to squeeze in some yard work! I also was able to finish this little insect theme worksheet set!
I have two weeks left with my first graders and next week is filled with a few insect activities. I will beginning the week by talking about insects and then spend a day focusing on ladybugs and bees. I'll share with you a few of the things I'm incorporating into my lessons this week!
I just found this book and absolutely LOVE it! Its a perfect book to introduce insects and it even rhymes like the traditional Dr. Seuss books! Super cute!
Here's a little freebie I created. I'll include into a math lesson or math station.
Just click the picture if you'd like to download!
This insect theme worksheet set that I finally finished will be incorporated throughout my week. These worksheets will be choices during math/literacy stations, used during my intervention time, and also available for students who finish lessons early and would like something other to do than write or read. Below is a sample of what's inside. You can click on any of the pictures below to check this product out!
Here are two books that I always make sure to read throughout
the day that we talk and learn about bees.
Here is an anchor chart that I made last year. It's all laminated a ready to go this year!
This is an example from Sweet Kindergarten.
This freebie has many great resources that I use. My kids write down facts using the honeycomb page and we also use the anatomy of a bee worksheet.
This freebie has a fun bee craftivity that I just LOVE!
Two of my favorite read alouds on our ladybug day are these two below:
After completing a ladybug fact web about ladybugs, my kids have an option of completing ladybug life cycle worksheet that is in the freebie below.
Or they have the option of completing a life cycle wheel like the one below. The one pictured below is just like the one I have. The masters are from Teacher Created Resources Thematic Ladybug Unit which can be found {HERE}. I found THIS FREEBIE on teachers pay teachers which is so super cute and very similar! I'll definitely be using this one next year!
I hope you all have a fantastic week & thanks for stopping by!
