This week's At-Home Project: Plate Bugs

This week we are starting a new unit on Amazing Animals.  Our first focus is on bugs, and more specifically Beetles.  We will be reading about Beetles in class, learning how to tell if a bug is a beetle, and how to sort and classify pictures of various beetles, bugs, and other animals.

This week I will be providing each student with a paper plate.  Their task is to transform that paper plate into a bug of their own creation.  Color the plate, Paint the Plate, Cut, Glue, Glitter, Bend, etc. the plate to make it look like the beetle or bug of your choosing.  We will share the plates on Friday, then hang them up in the classroom until we leave for Spring Break.  Feel free to use these images as a guide to start your creativity!
