Simple Schooling Bugs - Units 1 & 2

FOR GRADES K-3

Simple Schooling Bugs Units One and Two is the first weekly packet in a 30 week course on Bugs, Mammals, and Reptiles.  This installment begins the student’s study of animals by explaining basic terms and characteristics and also defines what constitutes an insect.  In Unit Two the student focuses on learning which bugs are insects and which bugs are not.  55 pages.

Each file includes two complete units made up of the following:

• 2 Textbook units for reading

• 6 workbook pages; 3 for each unit

• 10 vocabulary words; 5 for each unit

• 10 Copywork pages for students who print; 5 for each unit

• 10 copybook pages for students who write cursive; 5 for each unit

Each packet is approximately 50 pages in length.

To use the course simply purchase one new packet each week for 99 cents.  Each packet contains 2 units, which is enough for an entire week of study using the schedule laid out below.

Weekly Schedule

Monday – Read the first unit and complete the 3 workbook pages

Tuesday – Copy the vocabulary words in either print or cursive for the first unit.
