Today during circle time, we read I Love Bugs! by Emma Dodd. For our small groups, we did a sensory/science activity where we played at the light table and named different kinds of bugs that were glow in the dark. Next, we did a math/cognition activity where we counted bugs and named the bugs, saying aloud what number went with each. Then, we did a fine motor/literacy activity called, "I is for..." where we came up with different words that start with the letter "I." We came up with the words: I, ice cream, igloo, insect, ice, and icicle. Ms. Adrienne went to get some ice and we all got our own piece of ice to feel. Later, Ms. Adrienne made up an extra activity where we made art. Using a zip lock bag, construction paper, a ball, and paint; we rolled the ball around in the paint and across the page to make a neat design.

Today, during circle time, we listened and watched a book about the "Ugly Duckling" and we got to see as he turned from "ugly" into a beautiful swan. Then we worked on our small groups. First, we all got to pick a card that each had different bugs on them. Next, we went to the motor room and did a gross motor activity where our friends pretended to be different types of bugs. Each friend first acted out what motion that the bug was supposed to do, and then our friends all had a chance to do each movement as well. We had so much fun with this activity! We squirmed like worms, fluttered like a butterfly, buzzed like a bee, crawled like a spider, and more! Later, we went outside to do our other two activities. We did patterns, where we had plastic bugs that went along with what the patterns showed. We named the colors and types of bugs and said aloud the pattern. Finally, we had lady bugs with capital letters on their backs, and we matched their black spots with the corresponding letters.

Today, during circle time, we read Ten Wriggly Wiggly Caterpillars by Debbie Tarbett. One of our friends was able to count all the way down to 10! In small groups, we did a fine motor, ladybug tracing activity. In another group, we counted "flies in a jar." Finally, we learned about the life cycle of a butterfly. First, there are eggs, which grow into caterpillars. Then, caterpillars turn into chrysalis. Finally, the chrysalis turns into a butterfly!
