Learning about Animals is FUN

We have had a great time learning about animals during science.  Over the past few weeks we have talked about what animals need to live and the different characteristics of insects and reptiles. We discussed how an animal needs food, water, air and a shelter to live.  

The insects and reptiles were so fun and interesting to discuss.  The kids have learned that an insect has three body parts: head, thorax, and abdomen.  They also know that an insect has six legs and wings.  We have discussed how some reptiles have claws (lizard)  while others don't even have legs (snake).  The kids thought it was so neat how the snake's and lizard's skin colors help them blend into their environment.
