Our butterflies emerged! We had two caterpillars and they both emerged a day apart. Both times the kids were at specials or coming into the room in the morning and the kids missed this miracle by MINUTES! They were beyond excited:)
We have been working on nonfiction research and writing. We have read books, articles, made thinking maps and wrote about sharks and dolphins. Is is amazing to see how far they have come!
I love the Ocean, Nonfiction Fun Unit by Marie Cote.
I won the Healthy Helpings Game over are Teaching with Love and Laughter. You can check out the game over at Learning Resources by clicking on the picture or the game name.
It is fun game that teachers nutrition on a
primary level. The kids loved the choices in food, and even had to ask
what a couple were! This is a great addition to your nutrition unit
and to your game collection once you have introduced it. I have used it
whole group, small group and now independently. Thanks Lori and Learning Resources!
I love the little notes Zachary leaves for me before and after school at my desk. I am so happy to teach where they attend school. It gives me glimpses of their life at school...not to mention a few love notes:)
Now don't forget to head on over to Kasey at Doodle Bugs Teaching and check out this linky:)
Our butterflies hatched this week too! I love your little love note :)

Releasing the butterflies is my favorite thing to do! I love how sometimes they hang around and I always try to get pictures of them sitting on the kiddo's noses.
