Description
I. NATURE TALES
There’s nothing more powerful than storytelling to connect us and make sense of our world. Introduce our topic with our read-aloud, Are You a Ladybug? by Judy Allen, and related discussion.
II. DISCOVER
Enrich your understanding as we begin to explore what ladybugs look like, their anatomy, and lifecycles with our illustrated lesson guides, handpainted watercolor posters, and a variety of activities.
III. INVESTIGATE
Bring out your ‘looking glass’ and delve deeper into ladybug defense adaptations; make a ladybug house as you read about their habitat; and discover why ladybugs are a farmer’s best friend as we learn ways to invite them into our gardens.
IV. POETRY & ARTS
Enjoy a related poetry study (with copywork), art study, music study, and learn about ladybug folklore. Make your own felted ladybug to give as a ‘good luck’ charm to a friend.
V. CREATE
Celebrate everything we’ve learned with a fun Ladybug Bottlecap Magnet craft and Strawberry Ladybug Cookies.
VI. ON THE TRAIL
These nature study activities will take you outside as you learn how to identify ladybug look-alikes, go on a Spot the Ladybug Scavenger Hunt, and record your observations in your new Beetles Nature Journal.
