Butterfly Cycle

This week in science we have been learning about the butterfly life cycle.  We have been learning the cutest song with the cutest motions ever.  The kids of course are more interested in the motions than the actual words, so we are going to work REALLY hard next week to learn the words to the song and then hopefully you can get a video performance posted on here.  I wanted to post the words to our song.  I am sure you can get your child to do the motions if you sing along with them.  I know you all have an American Idol waiting to bust this song out!

Enjoy your extra long weekend humming to this little tune.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Monk

Butterfly Cycle
(To the Tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")
Hatch, hatch little egg,
I'm so very small.
Teeny tiny caterpillar,
You can't see me at all.

Crawl, caterpillar, crawl,
Munching on a leaf.
Crawling, munching, crawling, munching,
Eat and eat and eat.

Form, form chrysalis,
I'm a different shape;
Hanging by a silken thread
Until I can escape.

Rest, rest, chrysalis
While I change inside;
Now at last my time has come
To be a butterfly.

Stretch, stretch, pretty wings,
It's a special day;
Soon they will be strong enough
For me to fly away.

Fly, fly, butterfly,
Fly from flower to tree;
Find a place to lay my eggs
So they can grow like me.

Open House

Thank you so much for coming out tonight to open house.  The students just LOVE to get a chance to show off all of their hard work.  If you were not able to see our animal research project video through the QR code.  Please click the link below to view it.  The students worked really hard and love hearing their voices with their own artwork.  I am so impressed with all of their hard work!

Thank you so much for allowing me to teach your children.  They each bring me such joy!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Monk

The students loved getting to be the teacher tonight.  They loved you getting to be the students.  And they deemed me principal for the night - Ha!  How fun!
