This week we started our RLA unit of story retell, first up: 3 Little Pigs!! 🐷🐺🏠🧱 @PISDCalhoun

Today we became butterflies! 🦋 We “flew” from flower to flower to learn how butterflies help pollinate plants and are helpful to our ecosystem in a fun, hands-on way!! 🌸

Yesterday our butterfly life cycle came to an end!! We loved watching our caterpillars grow and change and now we say goodbye!! 🐛🔁 🦋

This week we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and our students made a wall story to show the beginning, middle and end! 🐛🦋 They took charge of becoming the illustrators and then collaborated together to become the authors and match words/meaning to their drawings!

This week we read the book How To Catch A Leprechaun!! 🍀🌈🪤✨ We figured out ways to make traps for him by using descriptive words to understand what he is like, and drew what he looked like so that we could build GREAT traps!! We did such a good working together to make them!
