It's Laura from Differentiation Station Creations! I love the spring. The warmth, the regrowth, and yes- even the bugs. Young children are often fascinated by creepy, crawly things. You can tap into this fascination and extend the learning across curricular areas. We use puppets, manipulatives, and music to learn all about insects and keep them present in math, science, and language arts! Head over to my blog to check out all the little bugs activities in action! And get a free song to help your kids learn about the body parts of insects. I even recorded myself singing this song for you to use with your kids. I am a teacher- not a singer, so please don't judge the song quality!! :) Don't forget to enter all the giveaways from The Primary Pack in appreciation of all the wonderful teachers out there!

After learning the photosynthesis song, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1_uez5WX1o, we create a photosynthesis model. This model begins as a single sheet of copy paper. Fold it in half and cut out a large leaf shape. Very little scrap should be left over, but don’t toss it away! The two leaves are glued together from the petiole towards the tip. We draw in veins and label the upper epidermis. Fold the upper leaf back, so it stands up and away from the lower leaf. Draw the veins on the lower leaf. I show the students how to draw a cross-section that indicates the epidermis layer. Using some of the scraps, we cut and color a scalloped strip to represent the chloroplasts. This gets glued to the upper leaf, along the inside, right at the fold. Finally, students cut out 4 arrows, free-hand or stenciled, label each with the basic steps of photosynthesis, and glue them to the leaf.
Day 2 is complete. Today we did our first directed drawing to go along with our David Shannon books this week. We also put our alphabet pr...

Firstly, the latest update on Ollie Beak, the Little Owl I rescued on Tuesday...he's doing very well, eating and getting stronger by the hour, so things are looking good for the little fella so far. I'm hoping he will be able to be released back into his territory in time. Today we had the heaviest, most sustained rainfall I've ever seen in my life. The lane outside my house, which has quite a slope on it (the lane, not my house) became a brown torrent of a river. I went outside with an umbrella to have a look at my guttering where Niagara Falls was cascading down onto my bedroom window-ledge, and noticed a Blackbird chick had been flushed from its nest and had succumbed to the deluge; then I saw a Gatekeeper butterfly (above) flapping as it, too, was swept along on the river. I managed to pluck the hapless insect from the water as it swept past me, and had to repair its wings which were folded over in the wet, before they dried out malformed, rendering it unable to fly. This required a delicate operation with tweezers. After putting the bedraggled butterfly in a box for an hour to dry out, I released it back into the garden and it settled on the underside of a bramble leaf. Second animal rescue of the week done. I must pay tribute too, to a Songthrush (above) who sings relentlessly from dawn till dusk and well beyond, every single day, perched high on a variety of trees and bushes in my garden. After the cloudburst was over, he found one of his vantage points and set forth again with his exultation. The little minstrel sang his heart out until 9.45 this evening, and doubtless will resume his post before 5am tomorrow.
