In our final week of our insect unit, we studied butterflies! We’ve been observing our caterpillars in class every day and we’re so amazed at the incredible changes they’ve gone through! Check out some of the projects we worked so hard on this week!
 |
| We learned all about the butterfly life cycle! |
 |
| Our butterflies are in the chrysalis stage right now. Can’t wait for these beauties to emerge! |
 |
| The students wrote a mini report on butterflies with interesting butterfly facts! |
 |
| Yes, they drew these by themselves! Incredible budding artists! |
 |
| The final product! Wow!! |
 |
| Doubles addition! The students rolled a die and placed that many beans on one of the butterfly’s wings. They made the butterfly symmetrical by placing the same number of beans on the other wing. They counted and added them together! |
 |
| Our little photographers went out to search for symmetry around MATES! The photos and QR codes will be posted next week, you’ll be able to scan the codes to hear more about the photos! |
 |
| We were all excited to hunt for symmetry! |
 |
| We read a narrative story, The Very Hungry Caterpillar! The kids recreated the entire book-cutting and pasting pictures just like the author, Eric Carle. |
 |
| They retold the story in their own words. I loved the vocabulary they used-starving, humungous, etc! |
 |
| All of the students are becoming quite the readers!! These reading windows are perfect to keep the kids on track while reading! |
Of course this week was extremely exciting because they performed the Friendly Neighborhood Helpers Play! Thank you helping out with the costumes and making it so special for them!
 |
| Thank you! |
