Description

Class Experience

This is a one-time, play-based class about the ladybug. Students will make a ladybug from clay or modeling dough while learning about and discussing the body parts that make this creature an insect. After creating their ladybugs, the students will learn a poem about the ladybug's spots that incorporates counting skills. Learners will then participate in a song to help them remember what they learned about the ladybug. The class will conclude with a sharing time where the students can display...

This class is taught in English.

1. The students will be able to create a ladybug from clay or modeling dough.
2. The students will be able to name the following parts of the ladybug: head, antennae, thorax, abdomen, spots, legs.
3. The students will be able to count from 1-5.
4. The students will be able to evaluate what they like about their individual ladybug projects.

None

  1 file available upon enrollmentClay or modeling dough: Any color is fine. The teacher will be using red, black, and white.
Optional: 9 - 1 1/2 inch pieces of black pipe cleaner or 9 toothpick pieces (broken in half)
     *The pipe cleaners or toothpick pieces are optional, but your learner will have a better experience if he/she has them. It is challenging for little fingers to make the ladybug legs, antennae, and to join the head to the body without them.
     *If your learner does not have the pipe cleaners or toothpicks, I can help him/her to make a flat version of the ladybug instead. Please bring a plate, small tray, or piece of cardboard (a piece of a cardboard box flap works great!) on which to lay the ladybug.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Informal Assessment

25 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
