Kindergarteners are Entomologists!

What is an entomologist you ask?  An entomologist is a scientist that studies bugs!  After reading a few books on bees kindergarteners said that they are very interested in learning more about insects.  This morning during Morning Meeting I passed around a pair of bug goggles and discussed how bugs have compound eyes.  Kindergarteners said that it was hard to see out of the bug goggles and that they saw more than one of anything that they looked at.  We learned that insects have compound eyes because they are invertebrates (have no backbone) and that these eyes help them spot things that are moving quickly past them!
