Plants+and+Butterflies

Plants and Butterflies  In our class we will be studying a lot about Plants and Butterflies. Parents, just to let you know, this aligns with the N.C. Standard Course of Study, for science. ([|http://www.learnnc.org])

Our plant projects will consist of: We will read “The Tiny Seed” by Eric Carle, this will introduce the kids to how seeds change and grow when all the elements are in place. We will study a seed and learn all of the different parts of a seed. We will put our seed in water and then check it the next day so we can observe all of their parts. We will plant our own seeds and study them over a course of time. We will also study different types of flowers and learn that flowers have seeds in them that you can plant to grow more flowers. We will also study about what plants need to grow: warmth, sunlight, water, and soil. We will also study the plants that you would find in the gardens of North Carolina. We will also be studying different types of plants you will find around the United States and compare them to the ones in NC. 

Our Butterfly projects will consist of:

We will read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle. We will learn how a butterfly changes from a caterpillar to a butterfly. We will compare the characteristics of an actual butterfly compared to a fictional one. We will explore the habitats of butterflies. And, we will study the different types of butterflies. We will have many art projects to go a long with this. Here is a great you tube video showing the life cycle of a butterfly. It’s only 48seconds long and it’s in cartoon.
