Severe Weather Preparedness Week
March 7-13, 2021 is Severe Weather Preparedness Week.
With warmer weather quickly approaching, now is the time to prepare for the severe weather season. We want our families to be ready in the event of severe weather, whether at home or at school. Schools and government buildings statewide will hold tornado drills during this week to practice their emergency plans. Use these resources below as a guide for you and your family and develop an emergency plan.

INVESTIGATION 1: What are the characteristics of insects?
They also got to choose which bug was their favorite for their new name badges. My favorite is the dragonfly for it's looks, and a close second favorite is the praying mantis for it's uniqueness. But, I have to say that I like bees for their importance in growing food and honey.
We will discuss:
- How do insects look the same?
- How do insects move?
- Insect communication
- How do insects communicate without sounds?
- How do insects work together?
