All Things Arthropods

First graders have been learning about all things arthropodic, especially insects and spiders. They have learned how to identify them by their anatomical parts, where to find them in nature, and what their various means of defense are. Getting a closer look under the microscopes, the first graders were amazed by the brilliance and intricacies of many arthropods’ wings and marveled at the fact that insects have breathing holes in their abdomens. What a great learning experience!
