First grade has been learning all about insects. The students learned how to eat and see like an insect, made their own insect, and recreated the insect life cycle with pasta thanks to Erica Lehman, Verna Tice, and Sue Yarnell. Then, with the help of Jim Palmer and Dave VanDeursen, the students were able to explore and look at insects in their natural habitat. They were excited to catch and observe the different insects we found !
