Description
Finally, a Bugs & Insects Theme that has everything you need! These activities for Preschool and PreK bring the wonder of Bugs & Insects into your classroom. No need to spend hours planning, because it is all done for you!
Bugs and Insects has to be one of the most fun themes of the year! There are enough engaging center activities for 5 days of learning about Insects-their body parts and what makes them special, the lifecycles of 5 different insects (Ant, Firefly, Honeybee, Butterfly & Ladybug), rhyming, letters, numbers, counting, number sense, patterns, graphing, art, and so much more.
I've included assessment recording sheets for each math and literacy center activity, plus kindergarten common core standards are listed for each math and literacy activity as well. There is a suggested list of books both fiction and nonfiction and links to fantastic youtube videos to extend learning! PLUS... Each day has an easy to follow breakdown for 5 days of bugs and Insects fun and learning.
