Sea, Sand and Stars Field Trip

On Tuesday our class went on a field trip to Sea, Sand, and Stars in Orange Beach.  We learned  stars and sea animals. We saw fish, crabs, a sting .ray, and different kinds of starfish. Thank you Ms. Lisa for all  you taught us!

Ms. Lisa taught us that fish need scales.  Scales protect them from getting sick.  We put scales on our fish with paint dots.

Ms. Lisa showed us starfish.  Did you know there are different kinds? 

 Here are the chocolate chip and brittle starfish.

Here is the brittle star up close.

We all got to put our hands in the water tank 

and touch the ocean life!

We even let Mrs. Laurendine and her class come along!

Lady Bugs

Yesterday we made lady bugs  We learned that they have four wings. Two wings are hard and two wings are soft. The hard ones protect the soft ones.  Lady  bugs eat bad bugs that eat plants.

Praying Mantises

We made praying mantises to hang in  the hall. Everybody thinks it looks like they are dancing. What do you think?

Insects

Yesterday we started to learn about insects. Some insects have wings and some don't. Their skeleton is outside their body. They have three body parts; the head, the thorax, and the abdomen.  Insects have six legs.
