BUTTERFLY WATCH DAY Day 16

Show and Share any favorite item...tell us the letter it starts with. 

If you worked on Ms. Bridget's parts of a plant book or a flower surprise picture, please bring it to our Zoom meeting.

STORY TIME 



LITERACY

Mixed up alphabet.  Do you have an alphabet puzzle... Or Magnetic Letters?  Mix the pieces up, sing the ABC song and order the alphabet!  Once you have the alphabet lined up, sing the song backwards!  What a challenge!

 MATH:

The Shape of the Month is a diamond.  A diamond shape is a rhombus.  A rhombus has 4 equal sides and opposite parallel lines.

A hat that is often worn for graduation is shaped like a diamond!  We are talking a lot about our EDS Graduation this week.









We have studied the numbers 1 to 10.  For your information, we also made a special numbers book that is in your portfolio book that you will get after graduation day.  The teachers put extra pages in there for you to complete your special book over the summer if you wish, since we were not able to finish this project together.
 

This week on a half of sheet of paper, you could practice writing, tracing, or identifying the numbers 1 to 10.  If you write them, you could add this page to your number book.

 SCIENCE: Today is Day 16 on our Caterpillar watch.  I wonder if  the last caterpillar has spun their chrysalis!






Day 1
Day 4

Day 8
 Day 11


Day 14 We have 4 Chrysalides!





This butterfly schedule has the dates at the top. The numbers in the squares are the number of days for each stage.  We are currently on day 16  and currently have 4 chrysalides and 1 caterpillar taking its time. The chrysalides need 3 days to harden.  Then we wait 7 to 10 days for them to emerge from their chrysalis as a butterfly.  We are hopeful this will happen before our last Zoom meeting.  If they have not, we will schedule a viewing!  It is all up to Mother Nature.




This is the Painted Lady Butterfly.  This is the kind of butterfly that will emerge from our chrysalises.  They are a common butterfly that lives in our country and Canada.

Butterfly fact:  Butterflies feed on nectar from flowers.  They have taste receptors on their feet!  They have six feet.  What do we taste with?

We talked about how a butterfly eats.  They have a proboscis, which is a straw-like body part on its head for sucking up nectar from a flower.

Plant studies:   We have sprouted bean plants from seed, and now we are regrowing celery! We found a very small sprout.  I wonder how much it grew over the weekend.  Check it out below.




 
 Let's try rooting the Avocado pit

 Science drawing:  Fold a piece of paper in half like a card.  On the front or top, draw a picture of a flower.  On the inside, underneath, draw a picture of a creature that might help the flower such as a bee or butterfly, or worm.  OR draw something that might eat the flower, like a caterpillar or some type of bug.  Bring it to Zoom on Tuesday and we will try to guess what is on the inside of your card when you give us clues.

 MUSIC or MOTOR:


We hope to sing the songs below at Graduation
