This week, we invite you to explore the stages of the butterfly's life cycle - you can even order a kit in which you receive caterpillars and watch them form cocoons and become butterflies!

Number of the Week: 17
Poetry: Haiku (17 syllables); 
Concept: What is a syllable?  Find out how many are in your name! 

You will need:
1. (Optional) Butterfly Kit
2. Math manipulatives (counters): if you can find 17 toy animals or butterflies, this would be perfect for today! 
3. For older children: notebook for Haiku writing and analogy writing (Prompt: What stage of the butterfly life cycle do you feel you're in?)
