Our first ECO this year directly connected our classroom study of insects to the outdoors. Students enjoyed a cooperative game of "Insect Relay." Moving like a variety of insects, students raced across the field, pretending to be bees, grasshoppers, butterflies, etc. Showing empathy, students cheered for their friends, all while showing self-control. Later on in the afternoon, students looked for insects in the forest, and created their own insect art, using materials found on the forest floor. INQUIRE with your child what materials they used, and why.
