Growth in First Grade


This week we continue to follow the growth of the caterpillars.   
Students are making careful observations and recording what they see, both in pictures and writing.  We also watched some videos of caterpillars transforming from one stage or instar to the next.  They shed their skin and pop off their "caps." When they are ready, they transform into a chrysalis.  This is what we are watching for now.  
Some of our classroom caterpillars are almost big enough!
