3.       Review:  Locate the paper in your packet with the tents on the right side of the page and the moon and stars on the left side.  Follow the directions to complete the page.

4.       Project Approach: Question #4: What is a bug?

Find a book or look on the internet for a definition of bugs.

Take your prioritized list of bugs and begin your field work.  Discuss with your child how he/she will record his/her observations, where he/she will look for bugs and what bugs are his/her favorite.  It’s your project.

Have your child write his/her name on the cover of My Journal.  Decorate the bugs on the cover.  If you didn’t pick up a journal from school, you can make your own by stapling about 7 sheets of  paper together.  Write the words, My Journal on the top page and draw a line for your child to write his/her name.  On the last page of the journal you will find pictures of bugs, one large bug and six smaller bugs.  Remove this page and use these bug pictures to help illustrate your findings throughout the journal.   After removing the page of bugs, you can add more blank pages to your bug journal as needed.
