Yesterday, we went searching for BUGS! After finding several different kinds, we went back to the room to research what we found. We had to find out if the bugs we found were insects or not.
We know from research that insects have 6 legs and 3 body parts.
During our hunt, we found this interesting creature. Several students illustrated the bug and we used their detailed picture to research what kind of bug it is.
We found out that the bug is a Colorado Potato Beetle. They are very harmful to plants. They must get their name from their favorite plant to snack on, because we found that they really like to eat potato plants.
This week our students will learn about Honeybees, Ladybugs, Butterflies, and Crickets. We will use informational texts for research and Eric Carle as our mentor author. Check back with us for more updates on our Eric Carle Insect Unit!
