Kindergarten - Safety in My Online Neighborhood - Lesson SlidesLesson 2: Bugs- Main Idea and Key Details
Tell students this month we are going to learn about bugs in library. Watch the video on Bugs to introduce them to the topic. Then read The Very Hungy Catepillar by Eric Carle to them. This will probably be a familiar story to many students which is good since we are working on main idea and key details. After reading the story discuss the main idea with them. Then they can work on recalling the key details with this sequencing activity.
Lesson 3: Bug Yoga and Craft
Tell students they have done a SUPER job learning about insects! Tell them we are going to do a fun activity today called yoga. The lady does yoga AND tells a story/information while she teaches it.
Students then can create a butterfly craft out of a coffee filter and pipe cleaner like the picture. If you wanted to go with a more makerspace activity you could put out a bunch of scrap construction paper and let them create a bug from that.
Lesson 4: Acting Out a Story With Animal Puppets
Read If All the Animals Came Inside by Eric Pinder or another favorite story with wild animals. Discuss the characters and setting. Allow students to choose an animal puppet page.
*You will need a lunch size paper bag for each student.
*You will want to print multiple copies of few different animals for students to choose from. FYI - The snake is cool but it is difficult for young students to cut out.
