Butterflies!

Oh, I just adored today's activity...Thanks Emilee! :) The students had a chance to complete this amazing hands-on activity to demonstrate each stage in the butterfly cycle. It was GREAT! Even my lower ELs could explain each stage, and they can use words such as larva, pupa, chrysalis, etc. It's a great way to retell the life cycle of a butterfly! 



Well, our larva is eating its food. It's smelling gross..Just saying. But the kids are anxious to find out how long it will be before they form chrysalis. Some of them predicted 2 days while others predicted 100...oh, once again, 2nd grades don't have good sense of time.

And my proud moment of the day...A student who started out on blue/red AR color has officially moved to ORANGE! Am I proud? OF COURSE! We celebrated his hard work today during math block..:) 

Until next time! :-)
