We are raising mealworms into darkling beetles. The kids think it's awesome. We do observations 3x weekly.

To help us get into the spirit of Earth Day, we designed our own insects using recycled materials.

I use some of the materials from enchanted learning.com.

For listening centers, we do Crickwing by Janell Cannon; the Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle; The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle; and the non-fiction book Born To Be A Butterfly (I don't know who the author is) I record it into Sound Studio & burn the CDs of me reading the book to the kids.

Hope this helps.
