As many of you know, ALNC runs a Preschool Program called Wonder Bugs. Starting next week, each Wednesday our blog will have a guest blogger, Miss Tara who teaches the Wonder Bugs programs. Each Wonder Bugs Wednesday post will be dedicated to that week's programs and feature tips and tricks to keep your youngster learning about nature after the program!
Here is an intro and preview post from Miss Tara summing up this week's Wonder Bugs programs:
Hi Wonder Bugs!
This week's program was Off the Beaten Track. Both groups enjoyed long trips outside where we searched for animal tracks and found some! We sang a couple of songs and made tracks of our own! Snack time was a hit as usual- tracker cracker snackers- Homemade wheat crackers with cream cheese and various toppings including julienned carrots, carrot rounds, raisins, and pepitas. Students had fun snacking and making 3-D tracks on their crackers!
Here are some suggested books to enjoy at home:
Animal Tracks of Minnesota and Wisconsin by Ian Sheldon and Tamara Eder (ISBN-13: 978-1-55105-250-2) This is a great mini-field guide for our area.
Wild Tracks: a Guide to Nature’s Footprints by Jim Arnosky (ISBN-13: 978-1-4027-3985-9) This great book has life-size prints of various groups of animals.
How to Be a Nature Detective by Millicent E. Selsam (ISBN: 0-06-023448-2) This book reads like a picture book but is loaded with great information on tracking!
Next Wonder Bugs: Whoo? Whoo? It’s you! Tuesday OR Wednesday, February 8 or 9, 2011
Whoo is this lesson all about? Owls! Whoo is coming? You! Discover owl habits, pellets and lore. Join us for a hooting good time filled with songs and games and whoo knows what else. Hope to see you there!
