My Project

We are excited to explore spring plant and farm life in preschool. We will be embarking on a life cycle unit to end our school year.

Abuzz with Life Cycles will allow my preschoolers the opportunity to explore plants, farm animals, and pollinators.

The books will help us to learn about bees, plants, and farm life. The LEGO sets will allow hands-on exploration of plants and farms through play. We will plant a variety of seeds to watch plants grow. We will use the world map to locate how butterflies migrate.
