Butterflies

After learning about butterflies I had the students write in their journals about butterflies. I asked them to write two or three sentences that teach me something about butterflies. Here is the work by two of my students.

Ants, Ants, Ants

As a class we read the book Are You An Ant? Then I had the students draw and write about ants in their science journals. Here is some of their work.

The grasshopper hopped where?!

Today we read the book The Grasshopper Hopped. It's a cute book about a grasshopper finding the best place for it to hop around. My class decided to be creative when they were asked to draw and write about where the grasshopper hopped. Here are some of my favorites.

Measuring bugs!

This week in math we are learning about measuring things. We spent one day measuring how many butterflies tall we are and comparing us to our friend (see picture below).

Today I let the students draw an insect (most decided to draw a butterfly) then we used cubes to see how long our insect was using cubes. Check out their work below.
