Hello Parents and Students!

Thank you so much to those parents who have sent me pictures and/or videos of your child’s work.  It is very much appreciated!!

This week we will be continuing to learn about bugs.  Today we are focussing on caterpillars and butterflies.

This week’s book is Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  Before reading it, I will go over the lifecyle of the butterfly.  It will help you understand the story.

Your activity this week is to complete this sheet:

Lifecyle of a Butterfly

Please colour it and print the name of the stages.

Here is Mrs. Favaro’s example so you know the names of the stages:

Butterfly by Mrs. Favaro

Then, if you have time, please make your own Lifecyle of a Butterfly.  You can use a paper plate or just a piece of paper.  Then, using things from around the house, make the different stages of the life cycle.

For the eggs, I used rolled up pieces of white paper.  For the caterpillar I used buttons.  For the pupa I used a wrinkled leaf and a stick.  For the butterfly I used a piece of pink paper and an elastic band.  Here is my example:

Have fun and please send me your videos and pictures!  Take care!
