We began a new science unit: Insects.
We're not too far into it yet, but so far we learned a few characteristics that ALL insects have, and a list of characteristics that just some insects have. Did you know that all insects have six legs, two feelers, three body sections and a hard covering? So cool. Also so cool, for Christmas the Poes got us an awesome color printer ... I gotta say, I love that I can run upstairs, print out a list, come downstairs and go for it!
My girls can turn an insect unit totally girly ... the guidelines were to create an insect with a head, two feelers, a thorax and abdomen, and six legs. Big Sis diagrammed her princess ballerina bug - with tutu. Lil Sis designed gorgeous wings. Even our little guy got buggy ...
He had a hard week. I'm not sure if it's due to new teeth coming in, or taking a Christmas break from school and then starting up again, or the fact that we had some cold/flu bug in the house ... but he didn't have fun, and he let us know. I hope next week is better.
