Ladybug Houses!

We are studying insects, such as ladybugs. I ordered live ladybugs for our classroom but the have been delayed.

I told the children if they built a ladybug house when we get near the end of our unit I would give them a ladybug to put in their "ladybug house" to take home.  Some children are bringing home milk cartons from the lunchroom to build their houses with them. You may build it with anything you have at home. THIS IS NOT A REQUIRED ASSIGNMENT.

 

 If you enjoyed the parent meeting or if you need more information please email me. I would love some feedback.

Please mark March 28th on your calendar. I will have a Parent Meeting at 6:15 that evening. It will NOT be a long meeting but a very important one. This is specific to our class. I would like to show you some of the technology you can use at home as well as some of the new technology we will be using at school. I am VERY excited about sharing this with you. More to come.
