From Caterpillar to Butterfly (part 1)

This week one Pre-K student and I began studying the life cycle of a butterfly. This student is incredibly smart for being only 4 years old. I was amazed by just how much he knew about it already!

We chose to look at the questions, 'What do you think is the most important part of the life cycle and why do you think that?' for our essential question, and 'What environment do butterflies need to survive and grow?' for our unit question. Doing inquiry based learning was much easier than I expected it to be. This student was very cooperative and eager to learn about a the life cycle of the butterfly. A blog has been created for you to follow this students journey while he learns about the life cycle of a butterfly.
