Bug Eggs
5/19/2018
A bunch of wild animals showed up Thursday for spirit week! This week the Explorers were given some ownership over what we studied, and they picked "bugs that lay eggs" as our study topic. We read nonfiction books about bug life cycles and saw many photos of the different types of eggs bugs lay. Some bugs lay lots of tiny individual eggs, some lay hundreds of eggs in hard egg cases and others lay eggs in egg sacks. We studied more life cycles, looking at both butterfly and ladybug life cycles and comparing them. Did you know ladybugs form a type of chrysalis too? Friday we went on a bug hunt. We turned over rocks, poked at stumps, searched tree bark and bushes to discover as many bugs as we could. It was a rainy day, and there were definitely no bugs flying about, but we did find worms, spiders, slugs, a very tiny gnat, a centipede, and even some bug eggs! Our chicks are growing fast! We have observed them growing new feathers as their wings lengthen and they are making new sounds everyday. Holding the chicks was a favorite activity this week. Yearbooks were very exciting!
