Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of the crawly creatures we call bugs.
They will learn fun facts, interact with other students and the teacher while getting creative making their own craft that follows the bug theme of each week. We may have a Kahoot quiz at the end of some classes if time allows. Teacher will put up the quiz on a shared screen and we will all take the quiz together.
