April 20th - 23rd, 2026: BUGS & Earth Day!

Hello Firefly Families!

This week we focused on bugs and what we can do to help the Earth. We went on a rhyming hunt around our room to find rhyming words, measured bugs with Unifix cubes, went on a bug number hunt around school and practiced writing the numbers, completed the emergent reader book "I See Bugs", played in a bug sensory bin with "grass" and fake bugs, responded to the journal entry "How can YOU be an Earth Day Superhero?" and learned how to look for the recycling symbol and sort recycling from the trash. We also went on a trash hunt around the LECC to help clean up our Earth, sponge-painted Earths and made Earth Day crowns to celebrate. We read the books Bugs, In the Tall, Tall GrassThe Earth Book, 10 Things I Can Do to Help My World, It's Earth Day! and we watched the video "Bugs for Kids". 

Reminders:

*LECC Spring Fair: Saturday, April 25th from 10-12!
