Insects

Last week we studied insects.  What are some characteristics of insects - 6 legs, head, thorax and abdomen!

We spent our Science day learning all about insects by reading books, learning on Brain Pop Jr, and going outside to explore some of the insects on our own playground!  Our technology day consisted of listening to different insect stories on our iPads (using QR codes).  We used Seesaw to draw and tell our favorite book and why it was our favorite!  For engineering, we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.  We built our own chain link caterpillar.  Our art project for the week consisted of reading The Very Lonely Firefly by Eric Carle.  We made our fireflies glow in our jars with glow-in-the-dark paint!  Finally, our math was a color by adding insect picture.

So, I will leave you a quote by an unknown author for your students...

"What did the firefly say to the other when we left?"
"I have to glow now."
