Insect/Bug Unit Study

The boys have been collecting all sorts of interesting insects (pupa, moths, and beetles of all sorts and shapes) so I decided that it would be a great time to do a bug unit study!   We have plenty of resources for to make a notebook with this study.  So far, we have used the following:
  • "Bugs Fun Kit" - includes mini-books, coloring books, stickers, stencils, etc (thanks to Papa & Grammy)
  • Let's Discover Insects - facts, stickers, & activities (thanks to Mummy)
  • The First Book of Bugs by Margaret Williamson - amazing book that I printed from the internet several months ago and just recently read to them. 
  • enchantedlearning.com.

 Ryan liked the Ambush Bug Nymph 

 Jonathan's little potato beetle above is saying, "Did you know that they suck insect's tissues?" 

Jonathan loves to draw comics...

They love creating notebooks.  We will be adding more to them as they learn.

Hi Mary, They threw it out into the fields. They would have kept it if I had let them :-) ew!

They have grown since I saw them 3 weeks ago. Put that brick on their heads.

Yes Mummy, they are growing. Ryan has a loose tooth and it almost makes me sad.
