Blog 2.3 January 11-15

We had a great week discussing animal life cycles and learning about things we see in our environment. My class has become much more descriptive and observant this term. This gives us new opportunities to talk about what we see, what we like, and what we would like to learn more about. Animals are a shared interest amongst every student and this week we had the opportunity to meet some real animals!

We now have tadpoles as class pets, and have been to visit Ms. Casey's pet caterpillar. The students are very excited to watch some big transformations over the next few weeks.

Our tadpoles like to eat broccoli

Here are some photo highlights for the week:

We modeled the caterpillar>butterfly life cycle by using mixed materials

Some of us wanted to try to make other types of insects

Forty and I-Aun found all of the 0 and 2 magnets

Nine sorted different items based on shape

Forty and Angie made a spider web and chose animals to put in it

Taj made a frog family to live in the doll house

I-Aun went shopping to get items for her pet frog
