Week 1 - non-fiction & insect facts (M-F I made anchor charts for ants, bees, ladybugs, praying mantises, fireflies, & dragonflies).
Week 2 - fiction, The Very Hungry Caterpillar & compare/contrast 2 different insects
I, quite frankly, was a bit grossed out on Friday when our caterpillars climbed up to the top of the cup & started shaking - I mean like CRAZY SHAKING!! It looks like they make the chrysalis out of their molted body {ugh, PAINFUL}.
The kids were fascinated, some think like their teacher & wrote in their butterfly journal - "The caterpillars are disgusting!" Great minds think alike sweetie, I HEAR YA!
Some photos of the insects in our classroom:
Can't wait to see what lovely butterflies we'll get - SOON!
