Insect Themed Lesson Plans for Kindergarten to First Grade

We are about to conclude our INSECT UNIT which we have been working on for the past two weeks and I am so happy to finally share the lesson plan that I made for my Kindergarten.  Now, though this is designed for my almost 6 year old boy, this unit study is also appropriate for kids from 5 years and older.  We have done tons of identification and sensorial activities previously on this subject area and this year, we’re doing some advanced work.

Safari Toob Theme Teaching Resources

I am so excited to bring to you 16+ activity learning packs to go along with your favorite Safari Toob educational toys.  As you all know, we've been collecting these animal figure sets for a decade now and has been a helpful learning tool in our homeschool journey. With my experience in homeschooling and designing activities to go along with our toob sets, I decided to publish the printables I made for these toys.  With these printable packs, you and your kids can exhaust the use of these animal toobs and go beyond the typical matching activity.

Food and Nutrition Themed Shelf

Vito is currently obsessed with our Let's Read and Find Out Series.  I've started reading the level 1 series to him since April and he's hooked into it.  There are tons of books in the level 1 series that he's currently obsessed with but one book stands out, What's for Lunch.  The book introduces the basic food groups to children.  I was totally surprised about his interest in this subject area.  He's becoming curious of what he eats lately and drinking more milk than usual.

Food Pyramid and Food Groups Activities for Kids

Vito loves the book, What's for Lunch?!  He loves learning all about the food groups, on what food will help him have stronger bones and teeth, food that will give him energy, and food that will keep him healthy.  I love that he developed this interest early on.  I think that it's important to educate little ones about healthy food because right now, he's super conscious on what he eats, and he's more eager to eat fruits, drink lots of milk and water!

Come take a look at some of the learning activities that we worked on to support his interest on food.
