With the nice weather we have had this week, it is finally starting to feel like Spring! I can't believe we are in our final stretch of kindergarten!
Our focus this week was on butterflies, an interesting and very fitting theme!
Your child has been doing a great job researching butterflies during our ELA centers. Each student used books, pictures, and observing real caterpillars to write 1-2 facts about what butterflies look like, what butterflies eat, a butterfly's life cycle, and cool facts about butterflies. In addition, our listening, art, poetry and writing centers all focused on our theme of butterflies. Be sure to ask your child what he/she has learned about butterflies this week!
Our caterpillars have formed into chrysalises!
