Peek In Our Week “”” Thee Buckeye Room “”” Week Of October 30, 2023

Thee Buckeye Room Bulletin

Line Time:
Arachnids, Insects, Invertebrates-
This week we broke away from vertebrates and looked at some invertebrates. Namely, insects, arachnids, and some other invertebrates. We learned that insects have a head, thorax, abdomen, six legs, and two antennae. Some examples of insects are the ladybug, bee, butterfly, and ants. Arachnids are a bit different and have a fused head and thorax (called a cephalothorax) and an abdomen. Some arachnids include spiders, ticks, and scorpions.  

Who remember Atom Ant?

Breaking out the insect and arachnid.

Did You Know: Be nice to crows
Crows can recognize human faces and remember them for their entire lives. They’ve also been known to leave gifts for humans. My question is if you anger a crow how long do they hold a grudge?

Your Child Says The Darndest Things (My dogs):


Academic Enrichment — Cuyahoga Falls Campus — week of 9/23/2019

Weekly Theme:
Since we live in the great state of Ohio I felt it was needed to become familiar with the states that surround our home state. We started with Ohio which is the Buckeye State and the abbreviation is OH.  We then looked at the state to the east of us named Pennsylvania (not Transylvania) which is called the Keystone State and the abbreviation is PA. We traveled south and discovered West Virginia which is the Mountain State and the abbreviation is WV. Moving to the west we ran into Kentucky which is the Blue Grass State and the abbreviation is KY.  Moving more westward is Indiana or the Hoosier State (what is a Hoosier anyway?) and the abbreviation is IN.  To my chagrin I introduced the students to TSUN.  I can not bring myself to even say the name….  xichigan  wolverine state.  

 

Let us end not on a low note like the last sentence in the previous paragraph and present the “official” things for the state of Ohio…
