First graders are putting their skills of observation to work while reviewing the correct way to use a magnifying glass. This sure comes in handy as we dive into a unit on insects! As we learn about how insects are the same but different compared to other arthropods, students are also discovering that insects are the same but different compared to each other. “Same but different” is a big idea that comes up across many fields - see what connections you can make at home. Also, ask your child: “How do you identify an insect? What is a true bug?”
