STORY TIME
Can you think of something that once you were shown, you could do on your own?
LETTER OF THE WEEK: Z
Zipper begins with the letter Z. Can you zipper your coat or sweater? Practice using a zipper.
Can you make a Z out of sticks you find in your yard?
The Shape of the Month is a diamond. A diamond shape is a rhombus. A rhombus has 4 equal sides and opposite parallel lines.
Which traffic signs pictured below are diamond shaped? While you are out riding in your car, can you spy some of these diamond shaped signs?
A kite is a diamond shape. Can you make your own kite out of a piece of paper? Draw a diamond shape on an 81/2 x 11 piece of paper, or larger. Cut it out. Attach a tail of yarn or rope. Color it. Fly it in the backyard.
The Number of the week is 6.
Practice writing the number 6, tracing the number 6, or form the 6 with small stones or dough.
All insects have 6 legs. Take a look at this ladybug and count its legs. Can you draw a lady bug with 6 legs?
SCIENCE:
We are going to be watching the life cycle of a butterfly. We have read and talked about the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar. What do you already know about a butterfly?
On Friday we put some celery stalks in three different colored glasses of water. "What do you think will happen to the stalks of celery?" was our question. Monday we saw that the leaves turned the color of the water that they were standing in. We learned a new vocabulary word, xylem. Xylem transports water and nutrients up from the roots to the leaves and plant body. This experiment proves how the xylem functions.
Below is a picture of our caterpillars that arrived on Monday, May 4. We will watch them for 7 days, they will eat, and eat and eat and wiggle. After about 7 days, they will spin their chrysalises.

We began this experiment at our Friday Zoom meeting. This experiment is fun to do with a white flower, such as a carnation, too.
Check out this caterpillar shedding its skin to become a chrysalis:
