Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!

We began a unit on bugs this week! We started by focusing on what makes an insect. We learned that insects have 6 legs, 3 body parts (the head, thorax, and abdomen), and 2 antennae. We learned some facts about ants, bees, and ladybugs, too. We know that spiders are not insects because they have 8 legs and only 2 body parts. We made ants, bees, and ladybugs in class, and even wrote about insects in "My Insect Book." After Spring Break we will learn more about the life cycle of a butterfly. Cool!
