Our class is already forging ahead to chapter 2 in science which features insects and spiders. We had our creative juices flowing and designed some unique critters using materials from our classroom. Each student included all the components of a real insect: head, thorax, abdomen, eyes, antennae and legs. Aren't they fabulous? Over the weekend we are all out collecting at least six insects in our neighborhoods and parks. We have to carefully catch them using a tweezer or net, place them in a baggie in the freezer for a few hours and then put them in a labeled section of an egg carton. We are using insect field guides or the internet to help us find the correct names of our critters. At the end of this week we plan to have an Insect Fair allowing all three fourth grade classes to view all the collections.
