We have caterpillars!  Last week our class got 12 caterpillars to look after and watch grow.  We have been learning about the life cycle of the caterpillar and how long each stage lasts.  One of the caterpillars didn't make it through the weekend.  It's kind of neat though because we can compare it to  the remaining 11 to see how much they have grown.

In L.A / Social Studies we were learning about how Lusia Pavlychenko helped contribute to the community of Saskatoon.  To help us make sense of it we acted it out.  Boys and girls please tell your parents how we acted it out.  Hint, some of you were kids, some adults, 1 a teacher etc).  We also got to taste perogies a tasty Ukranian staple!  I think 21/22 students liked them!

In Math we are learning about 2D and 3D shapes.  Today we made out own cubes.  Tomorrow we will write about a cubes properties (faces, edges, corners).

An extra special thanks to Debbie, Tara, Naomi, and Judy for all of the hours you spent inventorying our guided reading collection!

Questions of the day:

How long does the caterpillar last in the caterpillar stage?
How long will it last in the chrysalis stage?
What is the final stage?

  1. The butterfly is the last stage of the caterpillar life cycle.
    The caterpillar lasts about 10 days as a caterpillar.
    It will last about 11 days as a chrysalis.

  3. The caterpillar stage is about 4 weeks. The chrysalis is three weeks. And the butterfly stage is forever or at least until the end. The final stage is ... da da da ... death. So says Parker. So it shall be.

  4. The caterpillar stage is three weeks, the chrysalis stage is two weeks, and the last stage is the butterfly stage. It stays a butterfly until it dies. If it's a girl butterfly it lays eggs and then it will die because the Mom can't get nutrients.
