PrayersThis is an opening prayer that we like, but you may choose whatever prayer you feel best begins your day appropriately.

Now before I run to play,Let me not forget to pray.

To God who kept me through the nightAnd waked me with the morning light.

Help me Lord to love thee moreThan I ever loved before,

In my work and in my play,Be Thou with me through the day.

Amen.

We like the following prayer to close our school day. Feel free to use it, or choose one that ends your day appropriately.

I thank Thee Lord for quiet rest,And for Thy care of me;

Oh, let me through this day be blestAnd kept from harm by Thee.

Amen.

-Mary L. Duncan

This prayer is one we use before snack time. Again, use any prayer appropriate for blessing a meal.

anything interesting (Is it a shape poem, are there quotation marks or other interesting punctuation marks, has the author been

creative with capitalization? etc.)?• When was the poem written? • Is there art associated with the poem?• Did the author also do the illustration?

As you read:• Read the poem straight through one time so the students can hear the rhythm, cadence, rhyme,

language, etc., of the poem. Ask students if they noticed anything by listening (i.e., rhymes, climax, questions,

nonsense words). What are the students’ first impressions?• Read the poem through a second time, pausing to define new vocabulary words, explain new concepts,

or discuss important ideas. Help the students to understand the meaning of the poem. • Talk about the style of the poem. What stands out that helps you recognize it as a poem rather than

Insects & Arachnids

About Insects

There are more types of insects than any other type of animal on the planet. The main categories of insects are butterflies, moths, beetles, centipedes, flies, grasshoppers, and social insects. Insects tend to be small, but can vary in size from nearly invisible to over 7 inches long.

What Makes an Insect an Insect?

- Insects all have a hard external covering made of something called chitin.

- Their bodies are made up of three sections - the head, the thorax, and the abdomen.

- All insects will have a pair of antennae on their head.

- They all have six legs connected to the thorax (arachnids will have eight legs).Some insects have wings connected to the thorax and can fly.

Insects are born from eggs. Young insects are called nymphs. As insects grow, they get a new hard outer covering by getting rid of the old covering and growing a new one. This process is called molting.

Social insects live in large groups and work together to survive and build their homes. Some examples are bees, ants, wasps, and termites.

The study of insects is called entomology.

About Arachnids

There are over 100,000 species of arachnids. The word arachnid comes from a Greek word meaning spider. As a result, arachnids are commonly called spiders. However, there are some non-spider like bugs such as scorpions and ticks that are included in arachnids.

What Makes an Arachnid?

- Arachnids have two main body sections called the cephalothorax and the abdomen.

- They have eight legs.

- Arachnids have simple eyes versus the insect's compound eyes.

29

- Unlike insects arachnids do not have antenna or wings.

- They have an exoskeleton and lay eggs.

Fun Facts About Insects

- In a typical 1 square mile of forest or jungle, there are more insects than there are people on the entire planet.

- If you totaled the weight of all the ants in the world, they would weigh more than all the humans in the world combined.

-Mosquitoes are attracted to blondes more than brunettes and children more than adults.

-Snails can sleep for 3 years without eating. Some anteaters will eat up to 30,000 ants a day.

-The average life span of a house fly is about 14 days.

-There are more types of beetles than any other type of animal.

-Bees sometimes fly up to 60 miles in one day. Bees are on every continent except Antarctica.

-Ants can carry up to 50 times their own weight. That means if you were an ant and you weighed 100 pounds, you would be able to carry a good size car around on your back!

Read-Aloud Book ListThese are books that we have chosen for you to read aloud to your junior kindergartners. We have chosen them because of their beauty in prose, art, and content. You may purchase this set of books directly from Memoria Press, or your local library should have the majority of these. Your librarian should also be able to point you in the direction of great books if you choose not to use the books on our list. We feel it is essential that you read to your children, and when you read aloud, choose books that are a grade level above your children’s reading level. Choose good books that have survived the test of time - books that are well-written and beautifully illustrated.

Note to ParentsThis week we will conclude our study of animal classifications with a focus on insects. This has been such fun for the children. They have all shown great interest in this study. They have asked such good questions and have made great observations and comments throughout. I am so impressed with each of them!

I would like Jillian, Silas and Ned to bring in a picture of an insect or a plush (or toy) insect on Thursday (Feb. 22nd).

Just a reminder that Spring Break is fast approaching! No classes March 4th through 8th.
