Butterfly Life Cycle

We have been eagerly watching our caterpillars turn into butterflies. When they first arrived, they were tiny larva caterpillars. What seemed like overnight, they turned into large caterpillars. Currently, all our caterpillars are in the chrysalis stage and we can't wait for them to come out as butterflies! We have grown attached to them and each student was assigned a caterpillar and even named them.

Now, we wait until they are ready!

Rave Reviews

We have been writing Rave Reviews and critiquing different books. Below are some of our critics reading their reviews, some of our critics opted not to be videotaped. All the critics did a wonderful job writing their reviews. Their assignment was to: hook the reader in, state their opinion, describe the book, compare/contrast the book to another book and give the book a rating.

Help Wanted!
