Ladybug Beetles

Our ladybugs came today. We talked about what ladybugs need and how they grow and change. Then we wrote about them in our journal.



Today, we released our ladybugs back into the outdoors. We had lots of fun holding them in our hands and letting them crawl on our arms and legs.




We kept the ladybugs for about two weeks. During that time, we learned about living and non-living, characteristics of ladybugs, and the ladybug lifecycle.

Life Cycle Patterns

This week, we talked about patterns. We looked at patterns in animal life cycles.

We used Pixie to create pictures for the life cycle of the chicken and the frog. We put the pictures in a flow map to show the way the animals grow and change.




We read the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar and made butterfly life cycles on paper plates.
