Dear Parents,
We have been learning about the life cycle of a butterfly. We have learned about the four different stages that is in the life cycle: 1. Egg, 2. Larva (caterpillar), 3. Pupa (chrysalis), and 4. Butterfly.
Here are some links that you and your child can look at together to help support what we have learned in class:
At the Cocoon site you and your child will be able to see a video of the life cycle of a butterfly. You can also check out an animated story! This site is a great resource for learning about butterflies!!
At the Butterfly Life Cycle Stages site you will be able to match the names of the stages to their pictures. How fast can you do it?!
At the site with Earth's Birthday Project, can you make each of the sentences true by placing the correct word in the blanks?
I hope that you and your child has fun with these sites!!

Living Organisms!!
Dear Parents,
In class, we have been learning about living organisms and their basic needs. We have discussed what it takes for each of us to survive. We have also talked about what it takes for our pets to survive and the plants outside to survive.
Here are some links to activities that will help your children to build on their knowledge of the needs of living organisms.
At the Save the Egg site you will run the father penguin around so as to keep the egg warm in order for the egg to be able to hatch. However, watch out for obstacles and other penguins so that you don't drop your egg!
At the Health & Growth site you will have to keep Ben healthy by supplying him with enough water, food, exercise, and rest. Be sure he doesn't get too low on any of them!
At the Feeding the Farm Animals site you will feed the different farm animals. Be sure that you give the right food to the right animal!!
Have fun playing games with your child!!!

Seasons!!
Dear Parents,
This week we have been learning about the four different seasons: fall, winter, spring, and summer. We have been learning about how the weather changes throughout the seasons. We've learned about leaves falling in the fall, snow showers in the winter, rain showers and flower growth in the spring, and sun and thunderstorms in the summer!
Here are some online activities that will support what your child has learned about in class. Have fun working through these with your child!!
At the Snowflake Factory you and your child can create your own snowflake. You will be able to decide how detailed you want it and what color you want it.
At the Catching Leaves site you want to be able to catch as many leaves as you can that are falling from the trees. But be sure to not get hit by the conkers!!
At the Rain Shower site you and your child will be able to paint and place your own rain shower! If you place flowers on your painting be sure to keep an eye on them!!

Making Observations!!
Dear Parents,
In class, we have been learning about how to use our senses to make observations. We have been using our sight, feel, and smell to make these observations. Learning about making observations is part of our science TEKs (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills).
I have gathered some sites that have games and activities that support what we learned in class about making observations. Have fun with your child as you explore some of these sites!

At the King of the Forest site take a deep look into both pictures to try and find the differences! There are eight in all, can you do it?!
At the Oddball site, help your child pick the object that doesn't fit with the others.
At the Animal Tracks site, use the magnifying glass to take a close look at the animal tracks. Then match the tracks to the animal they came from. This one may be a little more tricky, so be sure to help your child and have a lot of fun!!
