Caterpillars to Butterflies

This week we will be working on the life cycle of a butterfly.  We have already begun our caterpillar garden.  We watch each day for changes and are recording them in our butterfly journals.  Here is a list of some activities we will be doing this week:  

1.  Reading books about butterflies and their life cycles.
2.  Creating our own small book using familiar sight words.
3.  Creating a diagram of the butterfly life cycle using noodles.
4.  Write about what we would do if we were caterpillars and butterflies. ( we will create circle/bubble maps to help us with this ) 
5.  Make our own butterflies using construction paper and paint ( the students will add paint one day and cut out their butterfly the next day )  
6.  Continue to monitor and record what we see in our butterfly garden

Pictures to follow!!!

This is the little book I am having my students read and illustrate.
