Butterflies...Insects...and best of all mama's day!

What a fun week...we had a blast learning about the life cycle of butterflies and all about insects (6 legs, 3 body segments, 2 antennae) We also spent some time talking about the special lady in our lives...Our MOMS!!

Monday:
For our mamas we made special hand print potholders. Don't worry...I used fabric paint so feel free to actually use them and wash them!

sweet butterflies!

a few books that we read! 



Tuesday:
We did a bug sort...Insect/not an Insect
I was so excited about them figuring it out. Prior to the activity we had made list of what we knew about insects. 

I was amazed watching them count the legs, body segments, and antennae. After they sorted the bug...they had to tell us why it was or wasn't an insect. 

These are not insects!

Craft time...






Time to letter hunt and make a butterfly book. Mrs. Tracy helped out today while Trina was out. He was AMAZED on how smart these kiddos are...she could not believe how quickly they were able to do the letter hunt. Way to go kiddos!!

a bit of portfolio work

I is for insects. The kiddos pasted insects to the letter I...some even made patterns.


Preschool is all about our friends!
