Goodbye butterflies!

Today we said goodbye to our butterflies.  It was windy for our little friends, and some took several attempts, but they managed to fly away. 

Afterwards, we learned about Haiku poems and worked on writing about our butterflies in this form.  A Haiku is a form of Japanese Poetry consisting of three lines.  The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7 syllables and the last line has 5 syllables. 

Examples: 

Butterflies flutter
Away and up and away
I will miss them lots         -Audrina


The caterpillar
Eats to be a chrysalis
Then a butterfly             -Cierra


Butterflies are fun
Flittering around the wind
Goodbye butterflies           -Anhad

On Friday, we will make some art to put them on. 

During Montessori word period, children worked on measuring centres.  They practiced using different standard and non-standard units of measure like snap blocks, popsicle sticks, lego bricks and centimetres.
