Over the next couple of weeks, we will be exploring the life cycles of different animals. We will focus on the frog and the butterfly in particular. Their life cycles are different than most animals because they go through a metamorphosis. We will be watching some videos and doing some activies to help us understand what that scientific word really means. :)

Day 1: The Frog 
 * We will start off the day by watching a [|BrainPOP] movie about the frog. Observe how different it looks from the time it hatches to the time it is an adult.
 * After the movie, we will complete an organizer using Pixie!

Day 2: The Butterfly 
 * Again, we will start off the day by watching a [|BrainPOP] movie about butterflies. We will once again use our skills of observation to notice the changes it undergoes from the time butterflies are born to the time they are adults.
 * After the movie, we will complete another organizer. This time we will be using Inspiration.

Over the next few weeks, we will continue to explore math through the use of technology. Our focus will now be on fractions. First we will visit Annie and Moby at BrainPOP Jr. as they explain some basic concepts of fractions. Then we will practice our own fraction skills by making pizzas on our Key Skills Program.

The slide show will be a math word problem. You will create 3 slides: a title slide, a question slide, and an answer slide. You will be able to add images, sound, and transitions to your slides. But before we begin, let's practice adding by visiting the sites below.
