Social Studies -Time4 Learning

Aleli did two lessons on Time 4 Learning covering Contients and the theme Wants /Needs. She explored all about the 7 Continents and matched them on the lesson. She explored the Oceans  and the map online.

Science : Lady Bug Observation

We observed a Lady Bug. We talked about what it did and what it might do . We put a piece of lettuce on the cup and looked to see if the Lady Bug would eat it. We talked about doing a bug search in the yard this Spring and explore the creatures we find.

The book to do with this fun project is : Bugs, Beetles and Butterflies -Harriet Ziefert
