My Project

Help transform our classroom into a wonderful world of insects and bugs. Children will be introduced to various kinds of bugs through photos, digging, planting, and creating.

The supplies will be used throughout the students' learning centers.

Stamps can be used within the writing center to promote writing new words. Photos and plastic bugs will be used within the sand center, math center, and even the play dough.

Insects and bug can be SO MUCH FUN! We love discussing this topic within prek and learning about all the ways they can grow and transform, just like our Prek students. With these supplies they can dive into fun learning activities that include the bugs from the world below.
