We Love Bugs!

We have had a great time learning about INSECTS this week.  We first learned that many of those critters we call insects or not actually an insect. We learned that an insect has to have six legs, two antennae and three body parts.  We even learned the scientific name for those body parts.  All insects have to have a head, thorax and abdomen.

We loved looking for insects to put in our INSECT ZOO!

 Some friends found insects at home to bring to our ZOO!

 Lizzie brought a butterfly that she later released on the playground!

 CJ brought a beautiful beetle.

One day we discovered how it felt to be a caterpillar wrapped snugly in a cocoon or chrysalis.

It was fun to paint beautiful symmetrical butterflies!

On Friday, we put our INSECT knowledge to the test to create our own INSECT!  They had to have two antennae, three body parts and six legs! We now have insects crawling all over our classroom!
