Little Discoveries

Hi there, Renee here from Fantastic First Grade Froggies.  Here in California we are on summer vacation and I am loving it.  I love spending time with my little man.  He is six and loves to discover things.  There other day we were outside playing and we found a praying mantis.  He was very excited to catch and observe it.  We let it go onto a bush that had some aphids on it.  It was fun to watch the praying mantis feast on them.  I wish I would have taken some pictures, but I was in the moment and I had no phone or camera nearby.

But when we came in, my son wanted to draw a picture of it.  So of course he did.  As he was doing that, the teacher in me thought it would be great to have some discovery sheets around for these types of moments.  So here you go (click to grab yours)

I purposely made it generic so it could be used for various "discoveries."  I thought at the end of the summer, I could staple them into a book for him to refer back to.

How do you spend your summer days?
