Life Cycle of the meal worm






Meal Worm Research:   ASK PARENTS BEFORE YOU GET ON THE INTERNET!!

See if you can find information about the life cycle of the meal worm.  How many stages are there?  How long is each stage?  What do they eat?  What do they look like at each stage?  What other interesting facts can you find out?  Write or draw something to share the information you discovered.

Mr. Perez brought everyone a pet today!

THANK YOU!

I want to thank all the parents (and students) for the beautiful flowers, wonderful notes and all the goodies I received this week for Teacher Appreciation Week.  I am so lucky to have all of these wonderful children in my class this year.  I have enjoyed teaching them all!  Thank you so much!

Water Cycle

This a great illustration from the NASA website of the water cycle (in ELD we are starting a unit on the water cycle).
I just thought I would give everyone a chance to see it.
