My Project

Preschool is the perfect time to learn about life cycles. Students at this age are curious and always interested in things around them. I always enjoy making sure that I have a lot of interesting things to get them to learn about the world around them.

Watching and experiencing the life cycle is such an amazing learning opportunity, that I want to share that with my young students.

Comparing life cycles between how ladybugs grow and plants would be a great opportunity for my young learners.

My students will get to plant in the pots, and watch them grow...Just like them. I am excited to bring this into the classroom.
