Class Pet!

Students met their mealworms yesterday.  As we begin our Science Unit on Animal groups, they were introduced to an insect.  Students learned the six characteristics or traits that an insect has:

• 6 legs (or three pairs)
• a pair of antennae
• most have wings
• three body parts (head, thorax and abdomen)
• no backbone (invertebrate)
• lay eggs 

Check out our mealworms.  Ask your child about our observations.  They were excited to "adopt" the pet and are anxious to learn more about them!
