Horray for Painted Lady Butterflies! End of the Year-Second Grade

End of the Year-Second Grade
We enjoyed caring for our caterpillars this quarter. We watched them as they turned into a chrysalis. We were excited to see them transform into beautiful butterflies! Our painted lady butterflies even laid beautiful, tiny, blue eggs. The life cycle began again. We compared animal life cycles to plant life cycles as our culminating project. We enjoyed sharing our life cycle books with parents during our end of the year breakfast. It was a fun filled day. This year has been terrific. Our students have a great understanding of what plants need to grow, can compare and contrast different growing methods (i.e. hydroponics), and describe the interdependence between animal life cycles and plant life cycles. It is our hope that their knowledge will continue to deepen in the years to come.
