May Theme

Better late than never right....so for this month lets focus on
INSECTS!!!!
This was always a theme for May in my elementary teaching years so lets share ideas about teaching insects.

Check out this link to Confessions of a Homeschooler. It is an entire Ant themed lesson plan for the letter A. Lots of fun printables!
