Stone Soup

Stone Soup was a success. Children brought in a variety of vegetables to wash, chop and peel. We made a graph which showed us that we received many carrots, a few potatoes and celery stalks, and one zucchini, one sweet potato and one stone.
It was delicious!

Gotta go!

This week we acted out one of our favorite stories, Gotta Go. It is the life cycle of a butterfly. We were inspired by the caterpillar that Niema found on a milkweed plant. We brought it into the classroom and have been watching it transform from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. In the story, "the creepy, crawly bug" knows that he has "gotta go, gotta go, gotta go to Mexico. These photos are our adaptation of the story. First we have the caterpillars, who meet ants and grasshoppers. Then we have the butterflies who meet birds. Finally, they join the other butterflies in Mexico and dance.
