Insects!

Monday we had two entomologists from the Navy come by to speak to our class about insects and other creepy, crawly creatures.  A HUGE thank you to Cassie dad for taking time to arrange this for us. 

I was too busy enjoying the interesting facts that I actually forgot to snap a few pictures! 
We learned the basic of insects like the fact they have three body parts, six legs, and two antennae.  The children saw some preserved specimens (praying mantis, beetles, and butterflies) and even some live ones (snake, scorpion, and tarantula).

This visit prepared us for our trip to the UNF nature trail where we will be learning more facts and participating in some hands-on activities with insects.
