More insects ideas!

Hi everyone! We are continuing to add to our understanding of insects..this week we learned that the mealworms were the larva of darkling beetles! So we explored the mealworm life cycle.
We also learned more about how insects protect themselves from predators - we researched ideas then created a poster and project.








Earlier in the week we made some cute turkey art using different kinds of lines...


We have had a busy week and are working hard to wrap up our final insect projects. See you soon!

Halloween week

 Hi everyone!
WE continue to explore ideas about insects together and observe our mealworms grow...but this week, the excitement was Halloween!
we explored graphing concepts using candy!




And yes, we also ate some!


The next day we learned more about recycling with a free metro puppet show! Kenji and the 3 R's

On November 1st we made our monthly calendar art!



Today we learned more about what insects eat and made a project to teach others what we had learned.  Enjoy your 3 day weekend!
