Week of May 20- May 24


Painted Lady Butterflies
1S returned to school from the weekend to find 2 Painted Lady Butterflies out of their chrysalis! We quickly brought them outside to find food. We're hoping the other 2 butterflies survived this incredible and magical transformation called metamorphosis. 


Spelling Fun
Today our class divided into 4 small groups to begin our new spelling stations! These stations provide students with the opportunity to spell their study words using alternatives to paper and pencil activities. 

Spelling Stations included:

writing on the tables with marker and on the tile floor with chalk

Pipe cleaner spelling


Wikki Stix Spelling

And a spot to spell with play-doh

Each student will have a chance to use each manipulative station throughout this week.
