Spring has sprung, and it’s time for some fresh new activities for your homeschool or classroom! A good lesson plan is made up of multiple types of instruction that involves visual, auditory and tactile activities. However, creating effective lesson plans is time consuming. That’s why I love gathering free resources that are major time savers! I’ve rounded up 10 of my favorites here. These ten free insect activities for spring will enhance your lesson plans by incorporating worksheets, drawing, movement, crafts, and more! Less energy spent prepping and searching for materials means more energy to have fun learning with your students!
