We have been learning about money.  To have learning’s be somewhat more meaningful, we made a print of the nickel.

Using two dice, the children placed a square around the numbers rolled and then read the number.

We have been learning about plants.  Using these items the children sorted into seeds and non seeds.

Using loose parts, students made butterflies.

This project took 4 days.  First egg carton parts were painted.  On the second day, caterpillar features were added.  Thirdly, the paper chosen by the children was folded and then made in to a butterfly shape.  The last step was to add details to each side of the butterfly’s wings.

This was the final result.  Every child made a butterfly booklet outlining the process from an egg to a butterfly.  In journals, the Grade Ones wrote a detailed process of how an egg became a butterfly.
