Little Buddies and Little Bugs

This has been a busy week, trying to get things ready for the Hispanic Heritage Festival. Last week, we finished painting our migajons, made from bread and glue, with our preschool-4 buddies. We also painted "turtle shells" that Ms. B made into maracas. We researched animals from the Galapagos Islands, drew pictures of them, and glued them together into a collage, as well as finishing up our PowerPoint slides about Ecuador.

Another highlight of the week was observing the superworms, which are like mealworms but bigger. The students brought them outside to look at them and record their observations. After noting that they had 6 legs and exoskeletons, they were able to conclude that these were a type of insect! Hopefully, we'll have a chance to try some experiments with them next week, such as testing to see what color they like best. Our science test will be the Tuesday after that, on October 21st.
