Product description
From the author
This 47-page Christian activity pack combines insect study with English–Spanish word practice and Bible activities for grades 1–3. Ant, fly and mosquito sections each include coloring, body-part labeling and life-cycle work.
Students complete vocabulary definitions, arrange bilingual phrases, and draw and write about insects in five habitat scenes. Creation and seasonal pages add scripture copying, and a Spanish Genesis 1 reading is included. An answer section supports the closed-response activities; drawings and stories vary.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Name at least three insects and describe two features that make an insect an insect - six legs and a body organized into head, thorax and abdomen
Define the pack's science vocabulary - segmented, invertebrate, antenna, proboscis, larva, pupa, nymph - and match three Spanish insect names to their English equivalents
Write a short story about the insects a named habitat would hold, and copy out Genesis 1:24-25 from the creation account
Teaching tips
Work one insect straight through its three pages before starting the next; the ant, fly and mosquito sets use the identical layout, so the comparison between their life cycles is the point of doing all three
The colouring pages double as handwriting practice - each traces the insect's name in English and again in Spanish, so keep them for a session where writing is the goal rather than colouring
Cut the Spanish-English phrase strips before the lesson; the ordering page carries only the direction to put the words from the previous page in order
Skills covered
Insect anatomy labelling - children place mandible, legs, head, thorax, wings, eye and abdomen onto ant, fly and mosquito diagrams from a printed word list.
Life-cycle sequencing - each insect's stages are numbered into order, with the ant page also naming the worker, queen and male forms.
Science vocabulary - segmented, invertebrate, antenna, proboscis, larva, pupa and nymph appear with blank lines for students to write definitions.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How is Spanish used through the pack?
Several ways. Each colouring page traces the insect's name in English and again in Spanish - Ant and hormiga, Fly and mosca, Mosquito and mosquito. The vocabulary list adds those three Spanish words to its ten entries, a cut-and-paste page reorders Spanish-English phrases, and the bonus section carries the whole of Génesis 1 in the Reina-Valera 1960 translation.
How are the Bible pages connected to the insect content?
Through the sixth day of creation. Children draw what they think God did on day six, circle the day on a numbered wheel marked GOD and INSECTS, copy Genesis 1:24-25, and complete the sentence "God created insects on the sixth day" with different words removed each time. The Suggested Objectives page also poses an open question about whether insects were on the Ark.
