My Project

This year our Pre-K class is excited to learn all about Insects! We currently have hands on materials to explore but we are now looking to add books to our library.

Children sometimes think that bugs are icky or gross and don't know yet all the good they do for us!

I know these books will give my students a new perspective on insects! My students will be able to develop language, learn new vocabulary and concepts as well as getting a laugh out of some them. In adding these book titles to our classroom my students will be able to learn about Insects through non-fiction book and fiction books.

Please help my students learn fun facts about insects, some that they might know and some that will bring that "Wow" moment.
