Boy, did we luck out with the weather for our field trip! We had a wonderful field tip into the
Audubon and found TONS of exciting creatures like crickets, spiders, salamanders, crickets, frogs, worms, crickets... and did I mention crickets?! We learned about complete and incomplete metamorphosis, how to tell a male from a female cricket, and what makes an insect an insect. This aligned perfectly with the MA science standards we have been focusing on (
Recognize that plants and animals have life cycles, and that life cycles vary for different living things.) Thanks to all the parent volunteers who helped out today! We couldn't have done it without you! (*A special thanks to Mrs. F for all of the beautiful pictures!)

ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the field trip was looking and finding salamanders. I found 3 salamanders. They were all in the forest under different logs. I learned that female crickets have 3 things that stick out from the back. Male crickets only have 2. -Elias
