Bug Unit (April)
I began April thinking that there were very few bug books that were appropriate for my students.
Turns out I was wrong.
I actually checked so many books out from the library, that I could only use a percentage of them.
Kindergarten and 1st grades: The Very Busy Spider, The Very Quiet Cricket, The Very Clumsy Click Beetle
1st and 2nd grades: The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Leo the Lightning Bug
2nd and 3rd grades: Gotta Go! Gotta Go!, Diary of a Spider, Velma Gratch and the Way Cool Butterfly
For all these stories we focused on vocabulary, repeating lines, and story retelling (with visuals).
And of course there were Bug Bingo Bingo boards…
Overall, I was pleased with my bug month (appropriate for my K-3rd graders, my 4th and 5th graders were focused on class curriculum vocabulary).
Check out the Plant Unit (March) and Vehicle Unit (May) as well!
I just found your blog and I am loving all of your amazing ideas and insights. I am an SLP in Utah and I just started a blog of my own to try to compile some of the resources I have found useful. Please feel free to visit anytime. I would love some feedback and ideas from other SLPs. The site is slplearningcurve.blogspot.com
I love Eric Carle!
I love all of the books that are associated with the bug theme. My kids loved it last year! I always have a hard time finding books for each age group and this is perfect! Thanks!
