Butterfly Fun, National Sibling Day and Freebie Animal Activity!

During our study of butterflies

this week we made edible life cycles.

I gave each table a plate of goodies.

They had to build the life cycle.

I gave no directions, other than to

use what was on the plate to create.

They did awesome!

I found Dollar General brand

Sweet Smiles Spearmint Leaves,

used vanilla baking chips for the eggs,

Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers, Tootsie Rolls,

and Wal-Mart Great Value Fruit Slices.

This was a huge hit as you can imagine!

We also created the life cycle out of 

art materials and wrote about the stages.

Of course we are writing in our 

journals every other day on 

our caterpillars progress.

We spent the day on Thursday 

celebrating siblings. It was National

Sibling Day. This was so much fun

and the kiddos had a lot to say about

their siblings!

We read the story 

Pain and the Great One

by Judy Blume.

We read a poem and nonfiction passage, 

answered questions, drew pictures of 

us with our sibling(s) and wrote a friendly

letter to one of our siblings.

Here we graphed if we had

no siblings, only sisters, only

brothers or both.

We also found out how many

sisters we had altogether, how

many brothers we had altogether

and how many of both we had.

 Then we had a little sibling rivalry,

playing an even and odd math game.

In the next few weeks, we will begin our animals unit. I created this to use with Zoobooks Magazines.  I hope you can use it too! Click here!
