Jiminy Cricket!

​We had such a treat, or scare for some of my little guys.  We had the opportunity to observe live crickets.  Full disclosure, my husband was not a fan of having them in the house the night before and did not want to be around while I put each cricket in its own container.  
 
For the lesson, we had already done our research on cricket, read a story about a cricket who tells secrets, and drawn what we thought a cricket might look like.  Lastly, we were able to observe, draw, and label the different parts of the body of the live crickets.  At the end of the lesson, we released the crickets into a garden that was not in use.  We were attempted to do as little harm as possible to the surrounding areas while still being responsible students.
