Hi Everyone! Today we're looking at bugs! Bugs are so interesting and do so much good work for us! Here are some fun bug facts for you!

Caterpillars have 12 eyes

Mosquitos like smelly feet

Grasshoppers were around before dinosaurs

Our story for today is The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

In your packet is a game for you to play. Mix up the cards so you don't know what order they are in.  Turn all the cards face down so that you can see the fly on the back. Turn one over and see if you can find its match. If you can't turn the first card back over and try again. If you make a match, take those two cards away. Keep going until you've made all the matches! If you get stuck, ask your grown up for help.

If you aren't a patron of our library or can't pick up a packet, here is an online bug memory game for you to try:

Our craft for today is Bug Rings. You have a bee and a ladybug. 

In this picture the bee is together and the ladybug is before it's put together

There is a small slit in the white strip on each side. I'm trying to show it in this picture.

This short video shows how to put together the ring, I'll bet it's easier for you to do with both hands!

There are two bug worksheets for you to do this week.

Here are some online things for you to try:
