Our final units of study are the continent of Africa, Insects and Invertebrates. We have learned that insect bodies are divided into 3 parts, they have 6 legs, 2 antennae, lay eggs, are the smallest, oldest and most populous on Earth. We discussed the different uses their body parts have and how they are different from us. This week we will talk about other animals around us that are invertebrates, where they live, what they eat and their use for the world around us. Ms. Jessie also gave us an important lesson on Ghana, a country in Africa. We learned what resources we get from here, what their flag represents and many other important things about the animals and people of Ghana.

It has been such a pleasure working with each and every one of your little beings here in P1. We hope you join us for a week of summer camp here at FMS. Have a wonderful, safe weekend!

Sincerely,

Ms. Jessie, Ms. Brianna, and Ms. Julie
