Interactive Notebook: Ant Life Cycle

Description

I wanted to incorporate interactive notebooks in my kindergarten class and I’ve got the perfect way! I have created interactive themed notebooks to go along with many of the themes that all kindergarten teachers teach.

The seventh in this series is Ants Life Cycle. This resource includes a variation of ant activities to help your students show what they’re learning, write out their learning, and improve upon what they think they already know. I’ve included enough opportunities to cover at least a week’s teaching period. I have made it very kinder friendly and made the pieces large enough for their little hands to cut. Every line that needs to be cut is a large dotted line to keep things simple. Black dotted lines are usually where we fold.

This unit includes a How-To page with every activity. This way, you will be able to see how and why I included each activity.
