I used this resource for planning a lesson that involved teaching students about a Ladybug's lifecycle. I wanted my lesson to incorporate students background knowledge on previous lifecycles they have learned about to connect with the ladybug's lifecycle. This resource used their introduction to share a lesson plan idea for teachers to inform their students on how things can change over time and with that it gave me the idea to share with my students how humans have changed over time. I used a part of this resource lesson plan idea by letting students identify how they themselves have changed over time, in which helped them see how lifecycles represent the changes organisms make over time. This was a great resource with many ideas and content that I used in helping my students learn about a lifecycle!

I was looking for lesson ideas for Elementary Life Cycles Units when I came across this editors note. The lesson idea warmed my heart. I love the idea of making this lesson long term and reflective. Any time we can get students writing and connecting personally to the content we are setting them up for success. To connect this back to life cycles that they learn at the beginning of the year, wow! Now we are really coming full circle. I would love to be a student in this class!
