I decided to keep studying butterflies this week so here we are. After reading a beautiful book about the flowers they like we reviewed letters & counting, did some line work (I traced the wings) & coloring, and learned about the anatomy. We also added a few pretty kite paper butterflies to our windows.

We had a chill butterfly lesson this morning and Elliot was happy Daddy sat with us. First, we read a fun book (he loves Crinkleroot) and learned a little more about moths and how they are different from butterflies. Then we reviewed the letter B and counting, played a butterfly matching game, completed a life cycle worksheet, and had a color sesh. We have a lazy rainy weekend ahead and I am looking forward to resting for sure.

This week we are learning about butterflies! Due to Elliot’s birthday celebrations, we got a late start but catching up today. We read a few really nice books and discussed our favorite types of butterflies, reviewed the life cycle, practiced linework/counting/matching/the letter B, completed a connect the dots exercise and a shape puzzle, and put together an awesome paper moth. Looking forward to some more butterfly fun tomorrow morning.

Another morning learning all about ants! We read a great story about a few ants who certainly learned a lesson and more about the homes they build. Then we reviewed the life cycle, worked on letters and patterns, and completed an ant drawing. These little guys are so rad.
