Bugs  Around  the  World  

The  basic  principle  of  Bugs  Around   the   World   is   to   connect  your   students   or   classrooms  with  other   students   or   classrooms   by  collaborating   in   a   global   project.  They   have   the   opportunity   to  explore   bugs   or   insects   native   to  their   environment   through  illustrations   or   pictures   in   our  show   and   tell.   The   project  consists  of   an   illustration  or   a  photograph   of   a   bug   that   is  located   locally   and   includes  two  facts  about  the  bug.    

Bugs   Around   the   World   is   a  global   project   that   includes  students   from   ages   4-­‐8   years  old.  This  project  builds  bridges  between   diverse   cultural  groups   within   a   community  and   outside   their   community.  You  can  take   this  opportunity  to   enrich   your   curriculum   by  using   the   subject   through  cross-­‐curriculum   platforms   of  Science,   Writing,   Math   and  Technology.   Writing   and  learning   becomes   easier   and  tends   to   be   more   creative  when   students   can   relate   to  subject.   This   is  what   teachers  call   an   authentic   literacy  project.
