It's an exciting week in second grade! Our butterfly larvae will be arriving! I always love this unit because the students are so motivated and engaged. From the minute the larvae arrive to the moments that we set them free---it's just so great. The students will name their larva and make observations and then we start learning about the life cycle of the painted lady butterfly. We touch on butterfly body parts, migration, and the differences between moths and butterflies. A favorite activity is when we see what it's like to look through a compound eye. You can download this at my TpT shop with directions on how to make your own class set of compound eyes without breaking the bank. :)
Stay tuned for some great pictures of all things butterflies as we have FUN in second...and for much more than a second! ;)
