Insect Collections

Third graders are always excited to do their first school project. This year, we began with an insect collection. (Early in the year, one of the boys was almost in tears when I said I didn’t know if we would be doing one this year.)

The students did a fabulous job. Here are some of their projects.

 

The kids had lots of fun hunting for bugs.

They came to school full of stories of how they had found their insects.

 

Even the girls enjoyed putting together their projects.

Along the way, we learned a lot about different types of insects and their classifications.

 

 

The students showed lots of creativity!

What an exciting way to learn about insects. As we have been studying them this chapter in science class, the students were quite eager to discover more about the insects they collected.
