We are very excited that our caterpillars arrived here on Earth Day. We will watch them go through their life cycle and then free the butterflies when the weather warms up. We have started a class observation journal where we record our observations on the changes the caterpillars are going through.In ELA we have read some wonderful books by our author of the month, Patricia Palacco, and we have worked on sequencing the events in her stories.
We continue to work on Our Best School Day Ever books. Today we used black marker and watercolor to do our illustrations.
Our chapter on telling time is complete and the students love being able to look at the clock to tell me what time it is. Please keep this skill fresh by asking your child for the time often. Our next chapter will be measurement.
