Yesterday we created ladybug glyphs that told information about ourselves and our experiences with insects. This was done as a group and was a great exercise in listening intently to the specific directions that were being given. By looking at the "code" as the students called it and by examining each ladybug, we can tell who would hold a ladybug, what bugs each child dislikes, whether we are afraid of insects, whether we've caught an insect, or whether we've been bitten or stung by an insect.
Today we also came up with a list of everything we've learned about ladybugs. Working in pairs, students wrote down these facts together. We decided to hang them in the hallway so other students can learn about ladybugs as they are walking in the hall!
