 CIMG2511On Monday, we were lucky enough to have the Bug Mobile from the Butterfly Pavilion come visitSunflower. The children were able to see hissing cockroaches, a black widow spider, a scorpion and ‘Rosie’ the tarantula. The children were able to have Rosie crawl on their hand. Many giggled and said she tickled their hand when she walked.

 

This week, we have also gotten out of outdoor bug catchers. The children have been finding spiders in the sandbox, ants in the gravel and r

oly-polys in the messy materials area. We are so excited to explore and learn about bugs. During group, we started asking questions about bugs. Here are some of the questions we have about bugs:

“Do baby ladybugs have spots when they are born?” CIMG2505

“Do dragonflies have wings when they are born?”

“Do ladybugs bite?”

“How do bees make pollen?”

“When baby honeybees are born do they go out and pollinate?”

Hopefully, we can answer all these questions in the next few week before school is finished for the year and our summer camp starts!
