Insects
Review insects! We learned that insects have three parts. The head, thorax, and abdomen. The head has the eyes, mouth and antennae, the legs are attached to the thorax, and the abdomen is where the insect digests its food.
Many insect use their antennae for three main things: please ask your child what they're used for!
Please ask your child to use the following words in a sentence. If you feel that your child has already mastered these words, have them write out as many sentences as they can using each of the vocabulary words! Students have been told if they should use either list 1 or 2 based on their learning level (and grade).
Newsletter and calendar came home today. Please visit the VHS website for the full version. Please note the important dates for May:

Please ask your child: What are the three body parts of an insect? How many legs do insects have? What kind of eyes do insects have? Here is a hint
Students are encouraged to research insects and bugs over the next few weeks to assist them in our learning at school! Here are some resources students can access.
