This is one of our favorite weeks at Sunflower Station! We spend the entire week learning about butterflies, from their life cycle, their body parts, how they live, etc. Then, at the end of the week, we get LIVE caterpillars in all of our classrooms so that we get to watch the life cycle and have our own butterflies at our school!
The other wonderful part about butterflies is their beauty and all the neat art projects we can make!
As a Math activity, the 3 year old class made a graph to show their votes on their favorite color of butterfly! This week is also a great time to talk about symmetry!
Butterflies don't get all of our attention though! We've enjoyed learning about caterpillars too! Eric Carle's book, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" is one of our favorites! Some of the classrooms talked about patterns as they made caterpillars in their rooms.
Our letter of the week is "F" so the children made "F is for Fox" and enjoyed the Fruit Dip they made for their cooking project!
We have started watching our caterpillars become beautiful butterflies! Stay tuned for a special post on releasing our butterflies!
