Izaak brought some yummy cookies as his birthday treat. Thanks, Izaak! We watched a Magic School Bus video about the life cycle of a butterfly, then students made a paper representation of the cycle. They glued a grain of rice to represent the butterfly egg, a spiral noodle as the caterpillar, a small shell as the chrysalis, and a bow tie noodle as the butterfly. We used cups of the same pasta shapes for a sorting and counting activity in math. Students counted the number of noodles in each group and recorded their answers. On Monday, we will learn how to punch those numbers into a calculator to find the total. Next week, our schedule is very busy with watching performances by other grades. Can you believe that next Friday is our trip to the zoo?! Have a great weekend.
