PVE Kindergarten students completed their study of the Ladybug Life Cycle. Tessa Reese from the UNL, 4H Extension, presented to the kindergarten students 4 times over 4 weeks. She taught the students all about ladybugs, their lifecycle, and why they are helpful to us! At the last presentation, students were able to set their hatched Pink Spotted ladybugs free! This was a fun experience for all the kindergarten students!

Which came first the chicken or the egg?! 🐣
Kindergarten students don't have the answer just yet, but they sure had a blast learning about the chicken life cycle and exploring their own eggs! This hands-on activity had our students excited, engaged, and eager to learn more!
