I’ve included assessment recording sheets for each math and literacy center activity, plus kindergarten common core standards are listed for each math and literacy activity as well. There is a suggested list of books both fiction and nonfiction and links to fantastic youtube videos to extend learning! PLUS… Each day has an easy to follow breakdown for 5 days of bugs and Insects fun and learning.
