Butterflies on Tuesday?

Our Brassica are now in chrysalis form. We wouldn't be surprised to find a few butterflies flying around the pavilion tomorrow morning. Hopefully the fast plants speed up so that there are some flowers for the butterflies to find nectar!

Fast Plants and Butterflies

Our Fast Plant seeds arrived last Friday, and by Monday they had sprouted! Today, they are the habitat for our Brassicca Butterfly eggs.

Our week in review:

1. We made Mexican butter cookies (Polvorones). It was fun to make them.

2. It was hard to cream the butter with a fork and then to mix the flour with it.

3. I liked our day in Mexico.

4. I liked the cookies that we made. They had a lot of cinnamon. My dad liked them too.

5. The eggs arrived. They look like crumbs! They're yellowish greenish and only a millimeter long!

6. I learned how to add money amounts into a calculator.

7. We learned about Fast Plants.

8. I learned in P.E. that jumping above balls is easy if you pay attention.

9. My favorite part was when we got to taste the cookies. I was proud of how they tasted.

10. I am proud of planting the Fast Plants seeds. I've never planted before. I was happy to see them grow.

11. I'm excited that the bulletin board is empty, because that means we're starting a new unit!

12. There's a caterpillar on a leaf! It's the same color as the eggs!

13. I learned that caterpillars like eating leaves.

14. Seeds sprout into seedlings.

15. I shared about winning an award for horseback riding.
