Tour [Kindergarten Insect Expedition 2014]

Better late than never, right?

Our big Fall Expedition was wonderful.

We explored insects and,

let me tell you,

5 year olds love insects.

Bees, butterflies, fireflies, and ladybugs

were our focus for several weeks.

Mosquitos.

Then we got down to the dirty work.

The little bites are more than an itching threat on this island.

They carry dengue and chikungunya,

two sicknesses that take you down.  HARD.

We explored patterns and addition in math.

We explored Eric Carle books during reading.

We sang song after song about the little six-legged critters.

We heard from experts.

We got out into the word.

We researched ways to prevent getting dengue or chikungunya.

We illustrated and wrote posters to share

with our families, school, churches, and neighbors.

We showed off all our hard work in our classroom.

We prepared songs, a video, and thoughts to share.

It all climaxed with Expedition Night!

Energy and excitement was high

and our families learned something new

and loved it.

It.was.so.good.
