First grade has been reading about various animals that go through a metamorphosis, and now they are able to watch ladybugs go through the process- right in their very own classroom! They ladybugs arrived as microscopic larva, then became pupa, and now are adult ladybugs. The first graders are meeting curriculum objectives in both Life Science and Language Arts, by writing about the process in their journals.
The students love the new additions to the classroom!
