We have been learning all about the nocturnal animals of the forests. Today we learned that there are insects that are nocturnal, too! We learned about the characteristics that make an insect and insect (head, thorax, abdomen, 2 eyes, 6 legs, and antennae) and about a special insect that sings songs throughout the night forest. After reading The Very Quiet Cricket by Eric Carle, we used play dough to make our own insects with all the parts!
Miss Sarah taught us all about the Desert Habitat of the Sahara Desert to close out our travels this month. We compared the rain fall totals of the Sahara with that of Cincinnati…what a difference!!!
We get around 42 inches of rain a year!
Then we traveled out to the sandbox to see if we could create waves and dunes in the sand by blowing air through straws. The wind in the desert creates massive sandstorms that can reshape the entire landscape and block out the sun for days! We had to control our breath and reshape our sand just like in the desert.
