SK Bug Hunt

Ms. Jeffers' SK class did something we have never done before at USM. They went on an "indoor bug hunt". Now, before you get too worried, we don't have any infestations in our Lower School. The children were looking for pictures of different insects that were located in the hallways of the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Lower School. The insects were camouflaged against the walls, and bulletin boards and other good hiding places. But our SK detectives were able to find them and capture the insects in their nets. After each student captured a "bug", we went into the science lab,and sketched what their insect looked like. It was a great activity for the children, and gave them the experience of observing closely, even though we couldn't go outside because of all the rain and high winds. Good job, SK Bug Hunters!
