Insects Unit

We have been having so much fun this week with our insect unit!

We started off by talking about what makes an insect an insect.

Here's a picture of the work we did:

We spent the rest of the week learning about the life cycle of a butterfly.

We did some really great projects.. this is one of my favorite units!

This is a life cycle project using pasta pieces to represent each stage.

I put this in the art center.

We made a book about the life cycle of a butterfly.

We wrote some facts about caterpillars and butterflies.

My favorite project.. the life cycle art project.

I put out various art materials and the kids had to display the four stages and label.

It was so interesting to see how different all of the projects came out. They really enjoyed it!

(The butterflies are attached to popsicle sticks and stuck in toilet paper tubes to emerge out of the cocoon!)
