A couple weeks ago two of our students found a monarch caterpillar. One of them took it home, named her bubblegum and put her in a bug house. In just a couple days, Bubblegum had made a chrysalis. The student's family was kind enough to share the chrysalis with our class. Today when we got to school Bubblegum was a beautiful butterfly. She had just come out of her chrysalis and her wings were still wet. We got to watch throughout the day as she gained her strength and prepared for flight. This afternoon we released Bubblegum to the wild. It was a fantastic experience for all of us. Thank you to this friend for sharing Bubblegum with us.
Learning Objectives for the week:
Reading: Finding letters we know in print
Writing: Using a horizon line to anchor our people. Labeling our details with beginning sounds.
Math: Figuring out quantities of numbers without counting. Growing patterns. Learning about Triangles
Science: Life cycle of a butterfly, Comparing moths and butterflies
Here are some pictures from our week!
Observing Bubblegum
We were beside ourselves with excitement.
We read this book. Then made hats to show the life cycle of a butterfly.
It was time to say goodbye. Bubblegum was ready to fly.
Goodbye Bubblegum! If you look closely you can see her in the sky.
