Hooray for Butterflies!

Our beautiful butterflies have emerged and are flitting around the butterfly house. What will happen next we wonder? The meal worms are alive and doing well. They are thriving on cornmeal and sweet potato. We are watching and waiting to see what will happen. Next week our milk weed bugs arrive and last we will welcome crickets into our classroom.

Our math unit has been practicing addition and subtracting, learning many different shortcuts. There are 14 lessons in this unit.

We started writing our books about the life cycle of the butterfly. This is the first quarter assessment piece in writing.

During reading we have been focusing on insect themed fiction books and will start non-fiction books next week.

If anyone has holly hock plants, we could use one for our butterflies. Have a great week everyone!
