It’s Ladybug Week!
I was planning to do some spring type activities with my little
munchkin this week, but she had other ideas! She was looking at my Insect theme
box & books that I had pulled out of the garage to do some lesson planning
and when I asked her what she wanted to learn about and she said “Lady bugs!”
So I switched gears and ladybugs it was. Thankfully I already had
some ladybug stuff in my Insect theme box (books, mini bug erasers, bug toys) but
that didn’t stop me from searching everywhere for new ideas and activities!
I hit the jackpot on Amazon where I found a letter matching game in
the shape of ladybugs, a ladybug notepad which I plan to use in several
different ways and ladybug stickers… All from
Carson Dellosa- one of my favorite places to order teacher stuff! And thanks to my prime membership at Amazon,
everything arrived quickly!
Then I strolled up and down the aisles at Michaels to find any
ladybug thing that I could use this week. I found more stickers, wooden pieces
and a ladybug stamper! And I found a very cute, very simple craft project for
her to do.
Ll is for
Ladybug
We started off the week by using some printables from Confessionsof a Homeschooler's Letter of the Week Curriculum, which is one of my favorite homeschooling blogs.
She wanted to do one thing after another. She was ready to go!
She worked on her coloring and cutting skills, a puzzle and a sizing game all within an hour and a half!!
Sorting
Later that day, I pulled out my big bag of mini erasers and she dumped
them all out on the floor! I immediately turned it into a sorting activity and
gave her some cupcake liners and showed her how to sort them.
She actually saved me the tedious task of having to pull out all
the ladybug erasers to use as counters.
Counting
And again, she was ready to work and started working on the Leaf/
Ladybug math mats I made just for her. It was a great way for her to practice her
one to one counting!
