Notes about our Week

•Our week began with the exciting discovery a caterpillar with a red horn.  We were very curious to figure out what type of caterpillar it was and discovered that it is a Gallium Sphinx caterpillar.  This led to a search to see what other types of caterpillars and creatures we could find in our schoolyard.

•We found four types of caterpillars, spiders, beetles and slugs.

•We read many stories about the life cycle of butterflies and moths.

•We conducted an experiment to see what the Gallium Sphinx likes to eat and discovered that it likes grape leaves.

•We watched monarch caterpillars in their various stages of development and watched as two monarchs emerged from their chrysalises.

•We learned about patterns.  We tried to find patterns on our clothes and create patterns with stickers and blocks.
