 We
had so much fun with butterflies in our classroom! The Butterfly
Folder will come home on Monday. Please look through it with your
child. They should have much to tell you about this exciting
science unit. We had about 15 butterflies flying around the
classroom. It was thrilling. The kids did pretty well
continuing to focus. Ask your child about feeding and
holding the butterflies. I think everyone got to see a butterfly
eat with its proboscis. That is an interesting action to watch.
Some children closely observed butterflies mating. They had many
questions. My take on that is that it takes a male and a female in
order to have eggs that will hatch. I'll let you explain as much
about that process as you 'd like:)

Mrs.
Perkins is teaching a math unit data collection and graphing. So
far we have surveyed, organized data, and built representations for
these questions: how many pieces of pizza do you usually eat, how many
letters in your name, how many shoe lace holes are you wearing, how many
pets do you have, etc. Ask you child to tell you the steps for
building a representation (graph) and what information needs to be on
their graph.
Speaking of Mrs. Perkins, she
continue to be with Room 208 in the afternoons until the first part of
May. After that she will begin her full-time student teaching.
We are lucky to have her in our community.
Thanks, again, for all of your help with
these latest projects. We have enjoyed the hands on learning that
they provide. Great job!
