    My class is studying millipedes in science class. They have two legs in each segment of their body. They`re longer than a beetle. Millipedes roll up when they`re touched. Millipedes are so great!

    I am talking about a millipedes habitat. The millipede’s habitat has some dirt, a little grass, some moss, leaves, and some fruit. They like grapes, apples, bananas and peaches. A millipede is a gentle worm-like creature. They have hundreds of small feet. I enjoy the millipedes crawling around.

They mostly live in dirt and they have thousands of legs. They can grow to be longer then a man’s foot. There are all kinds of millipedes. Some are poisonous and some weigh up to a pound. I like to watch them. I have enjoyed studying about millipedes.

    I am learning about millipedes. Millipedes can be very disgusting at times. Don’t ever put them in your hand with no glove because they will pee in your hand. If you should let them out of their habitat, you should put them on a paper towel. All millipedes have antenna. We really had a lot of fun studying about millipedes and they are very interesting to watch.

    I will tell you about a millipede habitat. A millipede habitat has dirt, leaves, and grapes everywhere. The dirt needs to be wet for the millipede to crawl around. It is fun to study millipedes.

    Mil lipedes help soil.When they roll up, they are protecting themselves from nature. People ask me, why are they so shy? I love millipedes! How about you?

    We are studying millipedes habitat in Mrs. Casey’s class, and I’m going to tell you about it. Their habitat involves feeding, home, and water. If they don’t get what they need they will die! At the end of the year we get to adopt.

    Some of the millipedes are male and some are female. They eat grapes, rotten apples, and leaves. They roll up to protect themselves. They also have an exoskeloton. I think you will enjoy milipedes.

    We are studying millipedes in science this week. Mrs. Casey is teaching every student in fourth grade about how they live in their habitats. It involves feeding them, playing with them, and watching them. We get to name our millipedes in our groups. We love playing and studying about them.

    We are studing millipedes habitats. i like to watch them make a hole in the grapes and apples. They don`t eat a lot of food. They have exoskelotons like others. I like studying millipedes and their habitats.

    In Mrs. Casey’s class, we have been learning about millipedes. I will tell you information about it. In my group, our millipede had a lot of accidents. It always curls up when you get loud. It also eats a lot. Millipedes have a lot of legs. That’s what I learned about millipedes.

    Now I will talk about the millipede habitat. You have to have leaves so they can hide under, fruit so they can eat, soil/dirt so they can dig under, and rocks. We put a paper towel over it so they won’t get stuck. That’s the millipede habitat!

    I’m in Mrs. Casey’s homeroom and we have been talking about our pet millipedes. We have also been discussing about their habitats. So far, the milepedes are doing just fine. We barely get to see them because the millepedes hide in the dirt most of the day. When we made their habitats we had to make them like their home where they come from. I really enjoy my millepede and its habitat. Together my group and I will make it better!

    In my homeroom, we are learning about millipedes. The millipedes are brown. They also like to hide in the dirt in the habitats we put them in. The millipedes eat leaves, grapes, and apples – pretty much any kind of fruits. I really enjoyed the millipedes.

    Next are crabs! I really can’t wait for them!

    The items you’ll need to get to make a millipede habitat are a bag of rocks, a plastic tank, a paper towel, a water spritzer, and a bag of dirt. Put the rocks in the plastic tank. Put the paper towel in there. Next, you spray a little water in there. After that, you put in the dirt and then you put in the millipede. Put in the left over food scraps and put on the lid. That’s how you make a millipede habitat.

    Have you ever seen a millipede? Well, in my opinion, millipedes are harmless. They live in a bag full of grass. They also have a hard shell and will attach to anything. Also, millipedes will only eat fruit. Do not feed them a lot. They will use it on you. Millipedes are interesting. Do you like millipedes?

    Do you like insects like millipedes? Well, in science, we are studying millipedes! Millipedes are like centipedes but have no poison. They have three body segments. They eat fruit. They can be light or dark brown. Their homes are in the dirt. Maybe you would like to learn more about them.

    We have been studying millipedes in Mrs. Casey’s class. They are very active. If you hold one without a glove, it will pee in your hand. They have lots of legs. To me, they are very gross.
    They live in a habitat with lots of leaves. We had to put dirt in a clear box for the millipede. The leaves are really dirty. We put different kinds of fruit like grapes and apple slices in the habitat. I have enjoyed studying millipedes.

    I am in Mrs. Casey’s class. My group has been talking about our millipede. We have been writing notes. We also have been getting fruit from lunch that we don’t eat and give it to our millipede. Sometimes in class, I try to look for mine but i can’t because they blend in with the dirt. That is how I learned about millipedes.

    Do you know anything about millipedes? Well I do and it would be fun to read what I wrote. Since I am at the computer I will tell you about one! How am I going to tell you about a millipede?

    People in my class go insane about millipedes! That’s why people never even touch the millipedes because no one will stop talking. Millipedes have more than 100 legs thats why it is called millipedes. I have enjoyed playing with millipedes.
