From a recent “Entomology: Terrestrial and Aquatic Insects” class:

Photo of dragonfly“… My third-grade students have become enthusiastic entomologists. For the last several weeks, we have had insects of all kinds all over the classroom … I have thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm and excitement my students have shown as they explored the life on our playground. It is much more fun to learn science using real, living creatures than to learn it from books and videos. Thank you for everything you taught us this summer that allowed me to do this unit with my students. I wouldn’t even be surprised if we inspired one future entomologist in the bunch.”
