This Is How a Ladybug is Born

The teacher or therapist reads book as students follow along, matching each step of the life cycle on each page.  At the end of the book, students sequence the complete life cycle of the animal.  Students working independently can work through the book at a literacy or science center.  When they are done with the book, they can complete the corresponding cut and glue life cycle worksheet.

Sample Book Text:

First there is a ladybug.

Next it lays eggs on a leaf.

Then a larva hatches, eats and grows a lot.

Last the larva attaches itself to a twig and forms a pupa.  When the ladybug comes out of the pupa, the life cycle starts over again.

This is how a ladybug is born.
