Ladybugs In The Classroom

March 25, 2018

Learning about ladybugs in the classroom is always fun! Come and see all of fun ladybug activities we do through the week!

We love learning about ladybugs in the classroom! We have a bunch of fun and engaging ways we learn about them and even get to release real live ladybugs at the end.

Ladybug fun in the classroom

To kick us off, we have a great ladybug read-aloud, The Grouchy Ladybug. This is a story of a bad-tempered bug who won’t say “please” or “thank you,” won’t share, and thinks she is bigger and better than anyone else. This book will help your little learners learn that maybe being grouchy isn’t always the best option. You can get the details of the snack idea and grab the free printable to go with the book here.

Next, we work together on creating our ladybug can, have are chart.

We learn about the ladybug life cycle and vocabulary. These all can be found in my Ladybug Activities No Prep Pack.

We make fun hats to review the life cycle.

We get to practice our math with our favorite ladybug mini erasers.

And my most favorite part is on Friday when we get to release ladybugs and play insect bingo!

Here’s the insect bingo if you want to check it out.

And for the ladybugs, I pick them up on Monday from our local ACE Hardware store so they can be in our classroom and we can observe them throughout the week.

If you can’t find these local in our area, this kit from insect lore is a great option. You get to watch them change from larve to pupa and then ladybug.

We release the ladybugs on Friday and it is definitely one of the most memorable days of the year for the kiddos. I hold the container and pass out ladybugs to whoever wants to hold them.

Such a fun experience for the kiddos!

Today's literacy snack read-aloud is Lucia Morning in Sweden. The book tells the story of Santa Lucia through the eyes of three children in modern-day Sweden. It describes their giddy activities, brought to life in colorful, full-page illustrations, and also provides sheet music, recipes, and sewing patterns for the costumes traditionally worn by children on this day when many Swedish people celebrate the legacy of Lucia and the coming of the light with coffee, saffron buns, ginger snaps, and wonderful singing. One of the most beloved and celebrated traditions of the Swedish people, Lucia Day also signifies that the Christmas holiday is getting close.Come and see the snack idea and grab the printable to go along with the book here primaryplayground.net/literacy-snack-lucia-day-read-aloud/ ...
