Eric Carle Butterflies - Art Lifecycles!

Different Lifecycles!

Human Lifecycle - from baby to old person!

Frog Lifecycle

Butterfly Lifecycle

What Do We Know About LifeCycles?

Writing in our Science Journals and Setting the Butterflies Free!

We have been observing the butterflies daily and writing about them in our Science Journals. We learned that it takes several hours for the butterfly wings to dry after they are born!

Ready to let the butterflies go!

Zero The Hero Fun!

My kindergarten kids love Zero the Hero! For each special 10 day we had a fun and easy project! He would also bring a treat that looked like a zero... lifesaver gummies were a favorite!! On 200 day, each child finally got to hold and cuddle with him!! On one of our special days, I forgot!!! I forgot to get him out, bring a treat, project... I quickly hung up a picture of him and a note that he was stuck in traffic! It worked and he returned the next day - another reason why I love kindergarten kids!! :)

Let's Get Acquainted Linky Party!

I am linking up with Latoya Reed of Flying into First Grade and sharing three things about myself related to my initials.
My initials are LDJ - so...

L - Love where I live - to me the most beautiful place - on the coast of South Carolina! I live 5 minutes from the beach, river, and creek!

D - Love to draw - actually draw, make, color, paint... it helps me relax! Great thing about teaching kindergarten- they think everything I do is wonderful!!

J - Love my job - love teaching kindergarten - I have been teaching for more than 24 years - still love what I do! Sometimes I am really tired - wish I could bottle up all my kindergarten kids energy just for me!
