We reviewed our study focus on beetles with our Beetles Mind Map – asking the HOW, WHERE, WHAT, other questions, and giving answers to our inquiries. We drew, we wrote, we pasted pictures of our learning so far about beetles which included ladybugs, longhorn beetles, rhinoceros beetles and stag beetles. We frame our learning with KWL – What I Know, What I Want to know, What I Learned.

We had great fun in the park too. We found tiny black spotted frog, cicada shells and a waterfall! In the classroom, we made origami cicadas, and tried drawing a ladybug step by step. To draw, we used shapes like circles, ovals and zig zag lines. We had a big clean up of the classroom. Savanna was really good at wiping their cubbies and packing their things to bring home for the holiday. Till we meet again, take care and Happy Obon Holidays!
