Wild about Bugs!

This week we’re studying insects, spiders and centipedes. We are discussing the characteristics that make insects different from other bugs (6 legs, 3 body parts- head, thorax and abdomen), the special role that bugs play on our planet, and where different bugs live. Students have the opportunity to read books on the subject in our reading corner, to “prick out” bug shapes, work with bug models, and much more. Many curious students might like to go to the local library with you, where they can find books for identifying crawly creatures in their own backyards.
