 This week, we spent a lot of time learning about the Life Cycle of the Butterfly.

Huevo - egg

Oruga - caterpillar

Crisálida - chrysalis

Mariposa - butterfly.

In just one week, we now have some caterpillars hanging in a J, and some have changed to chrysalids.

We also worked on making a house out of sticks, like the second little pig from "Los 3 cerditos" (The Three Pigs)

In math, we showed 10 wheels by using a combination of unicycles, bicycles and tricycles.

And 8 dots on a ladybug in different ways.

Oh, and we started inline skating!  WOW
