Today we started the day in our discovery/investigations books.  This was free choice but the invitation for ideas was our new insects (caterpillars) on our desks as well as a video stream of the duck! Here is what they came up with :) 

We had a great discussion about the caterpillars

What do we know about caterpillars? 

* It walks upside down like the praying mantis 

* They are squirmy like a snake 

* They could be found in your backyard 

* They climb on trees 

* You can find them when camping 

* They could get eaten by birds 

* They turn into butterflies 

* Some eat leaves 

* They are small and they grow bigger 

What do we want to know or wonder about? 

* How big do they get? 

* Do they eat a mix of food? What do they eat? 

* How do they walk upside down?

* I want to know cocoon? 

* Where do their wings come from? 

* How do they get their cocoons off 

* Do caterpillars and butterflies eat the same or different food? 

* Do the caterpillars have babies?

* Where do they come from? The eggs? How are they born?

* Do they eat human foods and drinks? 

* How they eat?

* What about nectar?

AND we started the challenges for the AMAZING RACE and the PM class earned us our first 25 points!
