Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
We have 10 Painted Lady Butterfly larva in our classroom. In other words, tiny little caterpillars. We will be watching them go through their life cycle over the next few weeks. This week, the caterpillars are the topic of our newest writing project, "Diary of a Butterfly". We have read Diary of a Worm, Diary of a Fly and Diary of a Spider and were inspired to write in the same amusing way that the author, Doreen Cronin does. We've determined that her books contain both fact and fiction with the fiction making the facts more entertaining. For example, the fact was that spiders eat butterflies, but the fiction part of it was when she said that butterflies taste better with BBQ sauce!
Our first entry into "Diary of a Butterfly" was from the caterpillars perspective. We had some very amusing entries describing "giant eyes staring at me", "earthquakes" and "Oh no! Someone is staring at me and I"m not even dressed yet!" Students are very motivated to observe our caterpillars and record their journey.
