Butterflies are Insects

                           
                                                   Did you know that butterflies are insects.
                            Insects have 6 legs. If you can find an insect you can count their legs.

                             Did you know insects have no bones.  They are invertebrates.                                                                                   Do we have bones? Do dogs have bones?

 Did you know that if you make a pan of water with mud and rocks a butterfly may come by for a                                                                                drink?
                                   

What are some other insects you can name?

One is a cricket.

The very quiet cricket.  Are crickets quiet?

Do you think they they are sneaky or smart?

I think crickets are fast, sneaky and very loud at night! 

Little Bear has a video about a clever cricket.

Look at the caterpillar you can create with food. What foods do you see?

Here is a creepy crawly cut and paste you can print and complete.

Caterpillars into Butterflies

                                                   
                     God created butterflies and moths through a process called metamorphosis.

If I were a Butterfly part 2

                                Caterpillars eat and eat and eat until they form a chrysalis.
                                             Moths eat and eat until they form a cocoon.

                                              
                                                     
                                                         Is it a butterfly or a moth?

                  Tomorrow we will make beautiful butterflies but we can not ignore the caterpillars.                  Without the caterpillars we would never get our beautiful butterflies.

Can you make a moth using markers or construction paper?

or

Can you create fingerprint caterpillars with numbers?

or
You can use paint and a kitchen utensil for a caterpillar

Go outside .....

Can you find these Spring things on an outdoor scavenger hunt?

If I were a butterfly

   This week we will learn about butterflies.

     Butterflies first start as a caterpillar.  I saw one the other day.

  Can you find one?   You have to have really good eyes.

Please take a picture of it if you find one.

                      If you have a hole puncher, this is a great activity to strengthen the hands.
                                                They can also use scissors to cut leaves.
                 Go outside and collect some big leaves that a hungry caterpillar would want to eat.
                                                                                                           

Caterpillars really do eat leaves.

Look at the baby Robins.  I caught the mom feeding them worms. 

I couldn't get real close, that's why they are blurry.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

                                                            Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
           Since Wednesday was Earth Day, let's discuss ways we can help keep our Earth healthy!

                                       

                       One of our favorite books about trees is called Our Tree Named Steve.
                                                      https://youtu.be/Fmj5JIvE9DY
                             God gave us trees and a beautiful Earth for us to use and love.
                                                        We must take care of our Earth.

                                    Did you know you can create art with recycled materials?

                        These flowers are made from newspapers and magazines water bottles                             and toilet paper tubes.

                                                     

                            These cool things are made of water bottles and empty toilet paper rolls.

                         
                                                                         

You can create art out of anything you see. 

Surprise us with some recycled art.

You can even make a smiley face on the ground with leaves and sticks.

Whatever you wish.

Love and Miss you!

Happy Earth Day!

             
                                              Today is April 22, 2020 and it is Earth Day!   
                         Today we celebrate our planet and we learn about ways to take care of it.

                                                                Mrs. Dana is back.....                                                                      ..https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=mDZAMr0wLYs&authuser=0

                                         There are many ways we can take care of the Earth.
                                  We can plant trees and flowers, clean up trash, and recycle.
                                                   
                                    Recycling is a very important part of protecting our planet.

                        This is the Recycle icon.  When you see this it means you can recycle it.                                                        That means don't throw it in the trash but put it in a recycle bin
