Storytime Theme: Ladybug
I think ladybugs are such a cool insect with their bright red color and their spots! This is a really great storytime because you can take it in a STEM direction with counting or by learning about ladybug life cycles or you can go the social-emotional learning direction with The Grouchy Ladybug as well. Whatever direction you take this lesson plan, there’s enough books, songs, rhymes, and activities to make it your own!
