Ladybugs and Flower Power!!

Well, it’s that time of the month again. Greetings from your friendly Texas Kindergarten teacher. Spring is in the air and man does it smell sweet! I really love Spring. We are studying ladybugs, plants and flowers right now. Our playground is covered with the most beautiful bluebonnets.

Ahhhh! Life. Is. Good!

I love to watch my students explore and observe our ladybug dome. They amaze me with their ability to remember the correct terminology of each stage in the life cycle. My favorite though was when a child said they found a “coopa”. I said, “That is great love but it’s called a pupa.” Haha! They are so sweet. 

The spirit of a child embraces creation and the mystery and beauty of new life, whether it is that of a bug or a flower. I love that! If we could only be so lucky to live our entire lives like that. J Here are a few fun pictures of what we are doing in Mrs. Radke’s room this week. 

Take a peek at our Science Center and our Ladybug Dome. We have watched 10 ladybugs life cycle through our classroom so far. Awesome!

We also made this chart and drew our own ladybugs to go with it. It is always best of students can add anything to whatever you make. It helps give them ownership of all classroom work. It is never just my work. It is always “our work” and that makes them proud. J

Here is a fun song that my kids like to watch and sing too. 


So, what is Springing up in your classroom right now?
