Insects

This past week we have been exploring the world of insects. Students were asked to bring in green plastic bottles to construct a lightning bug for our Friday fun project. First, we decorated all of the wings with patterns. Next we used 3 pipe cleaners (3 set of legs) to make all six of the legs by twisting them around the bottle. We decorated the cap to make the eyes using wiggle eyes. While the students were at their special I added glow sticks and covered all of the windows. The students came backs surprised to see their lightning bugs glowing in the dark! We sat around and learned fun facts about lightning bugs in the dark! What a fun day!
