Reading
We read the story Home-Grown Butterflies. This nonfiction piece tells about Barbara del Colorado, a village in Costa Rica. People needed a way to make money. A scientist suggested that they grow butterflies. Zoos around the world would buy them. School children grew plants that attracted butterflies. The children then searched for caterpillars and put them in special boxes so they could feed them. The caterpillars turned into pupae, the stage before they turn into butterflies. Now the villagers sell about 250 pupae a month! The money helps the school buy what it needs.
As we read this piece, we focused on drawing conclusions and making predictions. We also had great conversations about communities around the world.
