Bug notebook pages

The boys have been adding pages to their bug notebooks.  These were my 3 favorite from this week. 


  I usually read to them some information about bugs,sometimes watch a Youtube video,  and then they are allowed to choose their favorite fact. 
Ryan is in copy-work stage.
   He drew the picture himself and then copied the letters.
He says his stag beetle is eating a centipede.
All pictures are clickable.

Jonathan writes about click bugs: "Little bugs that click are called click beetles."  What I thought was so cute about this picture was the two little bugs at the top holding the banner.

Justin writes about the firefly.  He had more than one thing he liked about fireflies.
*"Lampyridae" is Latin for shining fire!!
*The chemicals in fireflies are used in research to fight cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses.
*They're related to the beetle.
