Now we are learning about what God created on the sixth day -- living creatures to walk upon the earth. This first week we looked at insects.
Monday
- Read about day 6 in The Creation
- I printed diagrams from HarrysBigAdventure.com of a spider and an insect
- We talked about the differences
- I had a blank diagram of an insect, and K. labeled it
- Then, also from Harrys Big Adventure, I had a page of 12 creatures. K. cut them apart and glued them on construction paper labeled "bugs" and "insects".
Tuesday
- We made labels for Herbivore, Carnivore, and Omnivore with pictures from clipart of what each would eat.
- Then I took the insect/spider section of the Wildlife Fact File; we read what each eats, and K. decided which kind of eater it is.
Wednesday
- Read The Honey Makers by Gail Gibbons
Thursday
- Read "Leave That Cricket Be, Alan Lee" by Barbara Ann Porte
Friday
- K. invented her own insect (must have 3 body parts and 6 legs). This was a sheet I printed off a website.
- Draw a picture of the insect
- Name it
- Where do they make their homes?
- Draw what their homes look like
- What do they eat?
- What eats them?
- How do they protect themselves from their enemies?
