Lots of Learning

Wow!!  There has been a lot of learning going on in Second Grade.  We have been writing about communities, discovering what scientists do, growing mealworms, and experimenting with science tools.  Ask a second grader to tell you about some of these things.
Scientists do many important jobs.
Our mealworms eat peas and potatoes.
Our mealworms live in oat bran.
Our mealworms are in plastic cups with air holes in the lid.
Lots of mealworms! What will they grow up to be?
We went outside with catching nets and hand lenses.
Students exploring for insects.
Catching nets are for catching flying insects.
Looking at an ant through a hand lens.
The ants were fascinating!
Are there any insects on the tree trunk?
Writing about communities
We have lots to say about our community.
A community is where people live, work, and have fun.
Working very hard on our writing
Writing makes us happy.

  3. I will be very happy to provide you with lots of insects. My garden attracts them. All varieties of Bees and beetles, as well as rolly polys (pill bugs). Unfortunately, the rolly polys like to eat new young plants and they devoured many of my pea and bean plants right after they got above the ground. But insects serve a purpose as well. Bees help pollinate the plants and fruit trees and make them grow fruit. Insects serve as the primary food for birds and other animals as well - such as frogs lizards and spiders.
