Week of 4/8

4/12/2019

 
Dear Blue Room Families,
 
We had another exciting week!  Below is an update on what the Blue Room children learned this week at Montclare.

Books we read:
  • Ladybug Lifecycle, by Justin McCory Martin
  • Butterfly Life Cycle, by Jeff Bauer
  • I’m a Caterpillar, by Jean Marzollo
  • Butterfly, by Susan Canizares
 
Classroom Activities: 
  • Next we moved on to the concept of life cycles. The children learned that life cycles are the cyclical stages of life. These stages follow a circle as they continue over and over again.
  • We learned the different stages of a butterfly and ladybug’s life cycles.
  • We demonstrated our knowledge of a butterfly’s life cycle on a three dimensional wheel using collage materials.
  • We illustrated the ladybugs life cycle on a leaf and practiced our cutting skills by cutting out each shape.
  • We also revisited symmetry and noted that both butterflies and ladybugs bodies are the same on both sides. We created symmetrical butterflies and practiced our addition by addition spots on a ladybugs back.
  • We also wrote our own books about butterflies and ladybugs. 

Places we went:
  • Writopia Film Festival - we hope you enjoyed watching the films as much as we enjoyed making and viewing them!
