Theme- I chose Ladybugs for my theme. It is for Kindergarten students.  I think that this would best be done in the Spring.  Possible standards that might be addressed are:

South Dakota Standards

  describe changes that are part of common life cycles.

  explore the habitat.

describe the basic needs of living organisms

  recognize the letters of the alphabet
