“I’m a Father!”

"I'm a Father!"....that's what one of my kids said today after his butterfly came out of its chrysalis. The whole class cracked up laughing. We've been watching these little creatures grow from eggs into beautiful butterflies and it reminds me of how the kids grow over the year (sniff, sniff...almost brings tears to my eyes).I honestly thought the kids would lose interest in the butterflies after a few days but their interest is only growing, so I just keep providing more information and other ...

Obsessed with butterflies! Even the boys!

Well as you may have read in previous posts, we are learning about butterflies in my room! We got butterfly larvae and have watched them grow.

Caterpillars and Mother’s Day!

What an exciting time in my room right now! We have teeny tiny caterpillars that my students are observing and documenting how they grow. They are beyond excited about it turning into a butterfly but they aren't too impressed with the caterpillar poop (who knew caterpillars poop???).This is one of my guys recording his observations, the caterpillar is in the little cup in front of him.This is one of his wonderings! So neat....We are using this Freebie from Susan at T.G.I.F. You ... Read the Post

Busy, Busy, Busy!!! (and a science freebie!)

So many things have been happening over the last couple of weeks that would make GREAT blog posts but I just can't seem to find the time to write about it all! So I'm going to summarize it all in one post.Here is the basic run down....We had some guys from Australia come to teach our students how to play Footie, Netball and Cricket (I really didn't learn anything because I was too busy paying attention to their accents...anyone else love Australian accents?!)Here they are playing Net BallWe ...
