A grown-up takes the child outside to look closely and check off each bug. Back inside, children count their finds and draw the best one.
What is the Bug Hunt Checklist?
⌄
Two pages after the cover. Page 1 lists 10 bugs with check boxes: ant, ladybug, spider, worm, snail, butterfly, bee, beetle, caterpillar and grasshopper, plus a row of 10 circles to color for each bug found. Page 2, My Best Find, has a drawing box, places to circle where the bug was (under a rock, on a leaf, in the grass), and things it has, such as legs, wings or antennae.
Can I use the Bug Hunt Checklist at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Preschool to Kindergarten science activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Preschool to Kindergarten insects resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are insects resources for?
⌄
These are written for Preschool to Kindergarten students, roughly ages 4-6. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these insects resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Preschool to Kindergarten classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
