We explored forests & marsh land and learned about & found insects - ants, beetles, dragonflies, Mosquitos, ladybugs, bees etc.
The students were able to practice & extend the learning we have been doing in the classroom into the real world. We will continue using all that we have learned and complete butterfly life cycles over the next few days.
Please ask your child questions about insects to reinforce their learning at home!
