This creative Monumental Symmetrical Insects Unit was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. For this assignment, I asked students to practice drawing insects. Next, I taught students how to draw insects symmetrically on scrap paper. I demonstrated how to draw a beetle symmetrically while students surrounding me. Students created their own symmetrical insect drawing on Final Copy Paper. Students outlined, colored, and cut their Monumental Symmetrical Insect out. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.

Here's a breakdown of the curriculum:

Phonics:

• The curriculum aligns with Common Core standards, ensuring that students are exposed to and master grade-appropriate language skills.

Suggestions for Implementation:

1. Regular Assessments: Include regular assessments to gauge student progress and adjust instruction accordingly. Spelling lists are included and it is suggested a weekly spelling assessment given to gauge understanding of the phonics skill.
