This course
includes a Reader of delightful stories written in the late 1800s. With its
narrative approach, students are gently introduced to the life of insects. For
example, read how Mr. Cricket is the one who sings for us at night, and not
Mrs. Cricket. That some beetles are quite useful, while others are destructive
creatures. The focus is on observation and classification of insects, much like
a classical naturalist. The corresponding Student Workbook takes children
through the identification of different kinds of insects, insect anatomy, and
incorporates memory work, observation activities and much more. It also
provides the related page number in the margin making this study very user
friendly. The Teacher Guide provides teaching support, answers to the questions
in the Student Workbook, and quizzes and tests. Also required is the Peterson
First Guide to Insects. Optional, but helpful, the Insect flashcards
measure 5” x 7’ and are vibrantly illustrated. Designed for one year of study. Sold
individually or in a convenient package. ~ Deanne
