Caterpillars!

 Welcome back! We started this week off with a bang. Over break I ordered some caterpillars and a butterfly garden since a lot of what we have focused on this year has been anything pertaining to outside. The kids were SO excited to see the fuzzy little worms crawling around in the cup. 

"Caterpillars!"
"They will be butterflies?"

"They are getting big and look at all the food!"

"They are going to be butterflies really soon. Like maybe in a little bit."

"Yeah they have to be in cocoons to be butterflies!"

The conversation revolved mostly about the life cycle which was perfect! Everyone crowded around the drawing table and began making some predictions on what they eat, when they will become butterflies, and how they grow so fast. 

If you are interested in trying at home, you can go here.

I am so excited to see what goes on from here throughout the coming days and weeks.

My dad has white skin!"  "My mom and I are white, and my dad and sister are really tan!" "My family all has brown skin like me. My mom is a little different brown though. My baby sisters look like me!" We got out the skin tone colored crayons and the kids carefully chose the colors they needed to represent their families.  "I need the tan ones because I am kind of tan and so is my mom. My dad and sister are darker than us so I need to use like a darker brown. I need the black too because they have dark hair. I have brown hair and my mom has like brownish hair but it's also kind of yellow." S worked on her family portrait as well. She, too, noted that she needed different colored cra...
