CR 2: Insects, Arachnids, Arthropods and Invertebrates | Desert ...
Quite a?bit of excitement in the classroom this week as we kick off our study of all things creepy and crawly.? The children are learning all about the elements of an insect as well as the many categories of invertebrates.?
For example:? Insects have 6?legs and?3 body parts (head, thorax abdomen), while an arachnid has?8 legs and?2 body parts (head and?abdomen).?
?Wait a?minute,? asks classroom elder Gabby, ?what about a?millepede???
?That?s right,? says fellow elder Sam, ?a millepede has a?thousand legs.? That doesn?t make?sense.?
We discovered that a?millepede is an arthropod, an invertebrate with a?segmented body, jointed appendages and an exoskeleton, just like our classroom pet hermit crabs!? That got us?thinking.
?Wait, could you keep a?millepede as a?pet??? asks?Nathan.
It turns out that many people keep Giant African Millepedes as pets, and care for them in a?very specific manner.? Wow.? Sorry folks.? I?don?t think Ms. Adrienne will be joining that parade in the near future, though it is fascinating!
Thank you for sending your children with so many incredible insect books and studies.? The children take such pride in these academic materials, and love to read their personal books at school.? Please, keep it?coming!
Best,
Ms. Adrienne
