We Caught The Learning Bug and We're Buzzing With Activity During Bug Week!

We had a week full of pests, the six and eight legged kind!  We learned a lot of things about bugs that were "gross" but were actually just part of nature!  Bugs are creepy, crawly, slimy, and sometimes even dangerous, but they are an important part of our world and ecosystem.  We literally couldn't survive without them! 

At group time we read the "Counting Caterpillar" book.

Some primal termite knocked on wood
and tasted it and found it good. 
That is why your cousin May
fell through the parlor floor today.
