Our Final Theme Studies Unit starts…. NOW!

Team 24 Families,

Time to start another exciting study! Our final Theme Studies unit is entitled Life Cycles (Growth and Changes in Animals).

Throughout our exploration, students will observe and care for frog eggs and butterfly larvae! Here is the frog egg mass we received: 

After a few issues with the early arrival and lack of instructions, our frog eggs did not flourish. We will receive a replacement batch this upcoming week. Fingers crossed, we have a better outcome. Nevertheless, this was still a learning opportunity… we were able to discuss the challenges frogs have continuing their life cycle in their natural environment.  

Here are some pictures of us preparing the Painted Lady butterfly larvae. We discussed ethical care of our living organisms and how to provide the best environment for their growth and development. More pictures to come!

I LOVE this unit and hopefully the students will too :)
