- I have used The Grouchy Ladybug in connection with the California State Standards for telling time. I am a Kindergarten/first grade teacher and have found the book to be a great source for teaching time. I have the students each make a small clock at the beginning of the year. They are time keepers for the rest of the year, taking note of our assembly or special occasion times. The book lends itself to telling time by the half hour which is perfect for our needs.We also did many ladybug activities and art projects. The one and am going to share was exploring the concept of "Grouchy" and the different things that make you feel grouchy. Each student colored their own ladybug. We sat in a circle on the rug and each student had a turn using the microphone to make a complete sentence about what makes them grouchy. I took notes and later typed them up to be added to a bulletin board about all the different things that made the children grouchy. Here are some silly little things that made our class grouchy. Hope you enjoy!
