Class Experience

In each class we will get to see different live "minibeasts" (roly polies, millipedes, slugs, etc.). We will watch how they move, observe their different physical characteristics, and talk about what they eat and where they live. We will learn about life cycles and food chains. Learners will be encouraged to share pictures, stories, and observations about the different creatures we study (or any other cool bugs they find) during "show and tell" each week. We will also be singing, drawing, dancing, and playing fun games to help retain what we are learning.
Week 1:Millipedes and centipedes
Week 2:Slugs and snails
Week 3:Caterpillars, moths, and butterflies
Week 4:Roly polies (wood lice) and review
*All animals will be studied, however schedule may vary slightly due to student interest and insect availability.

We will learn about the habits, behavior, and anatomy of tiny creatures living in our own backyards.
We will learn to take turns and pay attention while others are sharing information.
We will learn to sort bugs based on different characteristics.
