This week we jumped head first into a study of metamorphosis - concentrating on the life cycle of the Monarch. We have a few life specimens munching away parsley in a jar in our classroom. 1-D was particularly excited about these new “class pets” and has been observing them intently since they arrived.
We’ve also been getting familiar with the steps in the Monarch’s life cycle, and its name in each stage. Check out our ordering and labeling from this morning:
Also, make sure you stop by and investigate out the bulletin board outside our classroom... it is proudly displaying more student work from our Monarch study.
If you’d like to learn more about the life cycle of butterflies or want to support your child’s learning at home, watch this incredible video. Our first graders LOVED it! And if you watch with your kiddo I can guarantee that he/she will be more than happy to narrate =)
