Butterfly Life Cycle
We will begin the year studying the life cycle of the monarch butterfly. We hope to watch as a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. The class will watch the caterpillar(s) eat milkweed leaves, make a chrysalis, and hatch as a butterfly. It's an amazing experience. Currently we are experiencing a lack of monarch caterpillars. If you find any (probably on a milkweed plant in a ditch or in a park) we'd love to have them in the classroom.
Story County Conservation
Periodically we will have a Naturalist from Story County Conservation as a guest speaker for our class. Our presentations will revolve around the topic of animals.
Four additional topics will be covered in 1st Grade science this year. More information on that will be coming later. The Iowa Core Curriculum has recently finalized the the topics of study for each grade level. I will pass on the information as it is passed to me.
