Some spiders live in nests and some spiders live in webs. The students in one of our Grade 2 classes tell is that ladybugs live in gardens, meadows, mountains, deserts and in backyards. The students in our other Grade 2 class tell us that red squirrels live in nests, which are round and made of twigs and leaves. Raccoons make their homes in hollow trees. Their homes are called dens.
Mice live in woods, fields, and buildings.
The students in our Grade 3 class tell us that wildflowers such as Trilliums , Ox-eyed Daisies , Field Bindweed , and Morning Glory colour our woods and gardens throughout the year. The veins in the leaves breathe in carbon dioxide. Salamanders live in wet places but they also like dry land. Most salamanders are found under rocks in the mud. The students in our SLD class tell us the cockroach is one of the most obnoxious household pests.
