Happy May!
I will highlight what is happening in English Language Development in the 1st grade this month.
The students have been enjoying our Insects unit. We are observing the development of Milkweed Bugs, Mealworms, and Painted Lady Caterpillars. At this time, all of the Caterpillars and many of the Mealworms have entered the pupa phase of their life cycle. Students are making and sharing predictions about what kind of adult insects we will see, and what they will look like. Spring is a great time of year to pay attention to insects, because there are so many opportunities to observe insects outside. Students come in with stories about what they have seen, and where.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading! I will post pictures of the adults when they begin to emerge.
If you are part of the Grout community and have any questions about ESL at Grout, stop by to visit in room 206.
