Some of the class got together and had the idea to have a Bug Day. They decided a letter needed to be written to the Parents to tell them about the day:
“Bring 2 or 3 or 1 bugs. Puppet show at Play: ‘A Very Buggy Day.’ If not bring bug, then just come to school because the leaders will have some for you to borrow. Go gardening and go on the nature trail with your bug and we go find bugs have a very buggy lunch and gouter all day.”

We found ants, spiders, butterflies and some we didn’t know. We got some books from the library. We watched the carpenter bees zoom around the garden.
What kinds of bugs can you see in this video?
What kind of bug is this?
Why are bugs important to people, to animals and to the earth?
What is your favorite kind of bug? Can you draw and label 10 different kinds of bugs?

Some grown-ups have jobs that are to just study bugs.

The Treehouse 
Greetings from Canada!
The Praying Mantis is intriguing, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the Ladybugs and Butterflys. I remember collecting grasshoppers when I was little and keeping them in jars in my bedroom overnight, then releasing them the next morning. I love hearing crickets at dusk, making their ‘singing’ sounds. =)

How could I forget?!! The Fireflies!!!?
I remember my first time seeing them ever. I was 17 years old, and walking in the evening along a river under a full moon. I was SO excited to see them, I screamed with joy!! haha Click the youtube video to see some fireflies. =)
You didn’t see fireflies until you were 17? They don’t have them in Canada?!
Also- thanks for sharing this video! Neat to see the magic happening and the people running by! And THANKS for sharing your love of BUGS! 😀
[…] Ok, now how many are “literate” in another language? How many are literate in sign language? Do “baby signs” help develop literacy in babies? How many are literate in plants? flowers? trees? bugs? […]
