Distance Learning
During this time of "distance learning" I have attached documents below to help keep your child learning and engaged during this transition. I have posted educational websites that you and your child can access from home. Below you will find attached documents containing activities that you and your child can do while we cannot be together. These activities will help your child strengthen and develop important skills related to the current unit we are exploring and beyond. Please check back often, as I will try to add new content daily.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me: ddepaola@sacredheartschoolsi.org -

Yesterday we started talking about caterpillars. Today we are going to learn about the life cycle of a caterpillar. First a caterpillar hatches from an egg. After the caterpillar begins to grow, he sheds his skin and spins his body into a hard shell called a chrysalis. After two weeks the butterfly emerges from the chrysalis.

Activity: Butterfly and chrysalis craft. When Caterpillars are fully grown, they then shed their skin and spin their bodies to form a hard shell called a Chrysalis where they sleep until they are ready to become butterflies. Can you make a Chrysalis for your caterpillar to sleep in and turn into a butterfly? You can use whatever supplies you wish! Let's get creative :)
