Eric Carle Creations: Part Five

Just "Bee"-ing Kids!


Our very last week of the whole year was spent with the last part of our Eric Carle insect lap book.  It focused on bumble bees and it was so much fun. 

We learned all about the different types of bees in a hive, what types of jobs these bees have, and the interesting ways that a bee communicates.  We have a real beehive in our science center, which added so much to this part of our unit.  We also have our end-of-the-year play at this point in the year, which also focuses on "bees"
 (in the form of the eight Beatitudes "Bee"-atitudes.)

The munchkins had fun putting it all together.





















And the lap books looked great when they were finished.




During some free time, some of the munchkins chose to decorate a big bee to take home.

We had some fun snacks during this last week also...

One was birthday celebration with a snack that couldn't "bee" any cuter!



And the other was our weekly recipe.


How do we get the wings to stay up?


Who cares!  We're just going to eat them anyway!


To end this fun week (not to mention the school year!) the munchkins were treated to a party day, compete with bee antenna.  It was a celebration of a great year together and a super performance at our end-of-the-year play.

What fun!
And I don't just mean the party...

Our whole year has been super packed with fun and friends.  It's so sad to see if come to an end...

Until next time...
Giggles, 
Mrs. D.
