We will be talking about arthropods this week. We’ll be making a chart with all the different characteristics. Also, we will work on an ant’s anatomy and a grasshopper’s. Our larvae are getting very close to forming into pupas, so the students will continue their observations, and I will do my best to keep them alive!!!

A week from today the students will begin working on their insect research project at home and in class. There will be a lot more information about this project/presentation in next week’s folder. Also, on May 5^th the students will be informed of the insect that they are going to become an expert on!

Theme Homework?-None (the insect unit test will be sometime mid-next week; therefore I will post a study guide under “documents.”

FYI

We will be having another marble party this Friday. The students haven’t voted on what they want to do yet, so I will blog it on my website this week.

Congratulations to Abhinav from our class who got 2^nd place in the spelling bee final! Our honorable mentions include Kaitlin, Carter, Apoorva and Celeste! Also, congrats to Neil from Ms. Simmon’s class who got first place! I am so proud of everyoneJ
