Under One Rock


It’s a Bug’s World
We have studies about bugs and insects and learned about we need to respect the habitats they live in. We read the book, Under One Rock, by Anthony D Fredericks. We learned how many bugs make their habitat under a rock-cool! We then wrote our own 5 W’s poems about an insect using Word. Then we learned how to import graphics. Some students used Paint to create the habitat for their insect picture. Here’s some of our poems:
 

Ladybugs in the Trees

 

Ladybugs

Crawls with its legs

In spring

In trees

Because it likes to eat leaves.

The Amazing Butterfly

 

Butterfly

Flies

In the summer

In my yard

To get what it needs.

The Beautiful Flying Creatures

 

Butterfly

It flies with its wings

In the summer

Outside on a flower

To sip the nectar.

We also used Inspiration to learn about the parts of an insect.  Here’s our template:

We learned a lot more about the insects and bugs in our world which you can see at our web page, It’s a Bug’s World.
