Butterflies and insects...spring is here!

This week we explored butterflies and other insects...we learned that not all bugs are insects and that there is over 1 million different types of insects. We had fun singing the insect songs (head, thorax, abdomen...just like head, shoulders, knees, and toes). I continued assessments this week...their growth over the course of this short year is just simply amazing!

Thursday:
