Centennial Elementary’s favorite gym unit, Scooter City, began this week. Mrs. Nickelby continues to top herself, turning the school gym into a miniature city, complete with drive-in movie theater, teacher wall of fame, car wash, gas station, fast food restaurant and much more. Our class was able to visit on both regular gym days as well as a bonus visit on Wednesday.
And after a long wait, our mealworms are slowly, but surely reaching adulthood. Completing full metamorphosis, this insect changes from egg to larva to pupa to…
…a darkling beetle. This one enjoys a drink of water from a fresh slice of apple. Mealworms are a common snack for a pet lizard, fish or wild bird. For those looking to enjoy these critters at home a container of 50 can be yours for under $4 at your local pet food warehouse or bait shop.
