It's A Bug's Life!

This week’s theme at the Goddard School of Wall was “It’s A Bug’s Life”! We spent every day of the week exploring something new about bugs. Throughout the week, all the classrooms worked on art projects and participated in various activities related to bugs. The Seals classroom talked about the lifecycle of a butterfly and learned a new word: metamorphosis! They also used dot-dot markers to create a butterfly during art. The Whales classroom looked at the habitat of a butterfly and created butterflies with blot art. The First Steps class used red paper and glued on black dots to make ladybugs and the Infant class made ladybugs with red paint thumb prints! The Guppies and Goldfish classes created their own caterpillars by gluing different colored circles to paper. At the end of the week, the Dolphins class used yellow and black paper to create patterns and the Tropical Treasures class made bees with construction paper.


We had a great time talking about bugs this week and all the classrooms especially enjoyed making and eating their personal bug creations out of bananas and Cheerios/Fruit Loops!
