Bugs are intriguing, exciting and sometimes a little scary to little ones! This theme is designed to encourage an understanding of the vital roles that these tiny (and sometimes huge) insects play in our environment. They will develop a deeper appreciation of nature while learning other important skills for learning (and ultimately for living) joyfully.
 
A few areas of focus in the Bugs Guide are:
 
Developing awareness of symmetry
Exploring life cycles in our natural world
Creating process-oriented art projects
Connecting with nature
Strengthening the small muscles of the hand to support pre-writing and writing
Exploring the alphabet through playful experiences
