Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
This week we continued to learn about insects. Students began a research project where they picked one thing they were interested to learn about. Some topics are: What is the life cycle of a praying mantis? What is the deadliest spider? What does a praying mantis eat? What are the predators of the walking stick insect? Where do praying mantis' live? (In case you're curious why there's so much interest in the praying mantis, Kung Fu Panda 2 and 3 was on TV the weekend before we started our research. One of the main characters is named Mantis, and you guessed it, he's a praying mantis. ) While doing our research we have been collecting great words to add to our "Web of Words". It's getting very full! Each time we do some research, students are responsible to fill out a honeycomb with one new fact they learned. When you make our learning visible like this, it's very motivating! Students have started to ask for honeycombs when they're reading books about insects.
