Insects in the Schoolyard

Today we were very fortunate to have had another in school field trip. The members of the Mass Audubon came and presented a program called Insects in the Schoolyard. Our enclosed courtyard is perfect for insect hunting and exploring. The students were able to observe some of the insects they found under a microscope for a close up look. The second session involved learning about different characteristics and characteristics of some insects such a Honey Bees  and Aphids. Thank you to the Middleton PTO for funding this Field Trip for the second graders. Thank you also to the parent volunteers who came in and helped us find the insects in the courtyard.
