Flash Mob!!

McKenzie teachers had Staff Development on Monday, September 26th.  Our teachers got to participate in a Flash Mob!!

Classroom Insects

We have insects in our classrooms, but we don't need an exterminator.  Our Science lessons are about the life cycles of insects.  The stages are egg, larva, pupa, and adult.  All of our insects were eggs first.  Then they were larva when we got them.  The larva were mealworms, silkworms, and caterpillars.  Next the larva made a cocoon and became a pupa.  Last they became adult beetles, white moths, and monarch butterflies.

We learned that mealworms turn into beetles.  Caterpillars turn into butterflies, and silkworms turn into white moths.

We know an animal must have six legs, antennas, and three body parts (head, thorax, abdomen) to be an insect.

There are many different kinds of insects.  Enchanted Learning.com has a lot of information for us to research more about insects.

Our beetles crawling all over each other.

As beetles get older they turn darker into black.

Mealworms getting ready to turn into pupa.

Caterpillars attached to the top of their habitat

Caterpillars look really odd.

Silkworms have see-through bodies.

A silkworm climbing to the top of its habitat to make a cocoon.

Silkworms are sort of white in color.

We keep a chart of the growth of our mealworms.

Technology

We love using technology in second grade.  This week we used the Elmo to share our community writing onto the Promethean board.

The Elmo projects our work onto the Promethean Board

We know how to place the paper so it shows up correctly.

It's easy for everyone to see our work on the Promethean Board.

We Wonder...

Mrs. Walker's husband told us that her dog can sing and his favorite song is "Happy Birthday."  Mrs. Walker also told us her house is pink brick.  We wanted to see, so here are some pictures.
