We have continued our study of punctuation marks, and what would happen in a world without them. We wrote postcards to our punctuation friends who were on vacation at the beach. We asked them to come back to us! We also wrote letters to Flat Caitlyn, a real girl who lives in Kansas.
During math, we built fraction sundaes and decorated them with crazy topping like trees, worms and rainbows. Then we calculated the fraction of the whole that each topping made up.
Our science of metamorphosis unit continues. There are more and more beetles emerging from chrysalises everyday. We learned about the two kinds of insect metamorphosis: holometabolism and hemimetabolism! Holometabolists undergo a complete metamorphosis- changing from a larva to a pupa in a cocoon and then to an adult. Hemimetabolists hatch from eggs as mini versions of the adult. They shed several skins as they grow and then become adults. We are also beginning to study the red-legged frog and the woolly bear caterpillar!
Our PE time was spent playing monster kickball. We used mats for bases and kicked a giant ball.
