2 weeks ago, we spent a lot of time talking about insects. We learned that insects have 6 legs and 3 body parts. The 3 body parts are the head, thorax and abdomen. We focused on ladybugs for our unit of study. We learned that ladybugs start out as an egg, emerge as larva, form a pupa and then come out as an adult ladybug! We ordered ladybugs so that the students could observe them in the classroom. The larva were on back order and came in this week. I'm so excited for the students to see the larva turn into adult ladybugs!
This is a ladybug larva. Quite different than what you'd expect! |
This week, we are learning about pumpkins. We will learn about it's life cycle and just how pumpkins grow! Today, we took a fun field trip to the greenway. Unfortunately due to heavy rain over the summer, they did not have any vines for us to see. Thanks to the internet and YouTube, we have found many pictures and videos to see! In math this week, we are learning all about the numbers 11-20.
