Butterfly and Reading Update

This is really an update on the butterflies, however when I went to get Sean to watch the chrysalis transfer he was in bed looking at a book on insects.  Kind of unexpected, 9 times out of 10 he is reading books on dinosaurs.  Read? Kind of.  He is doing really well with his reading level books and can recognize much larger words out of context, but only if they are the names of dinosaurs or states!

He loves the PBS Kids website, especially Dinosaur Train (which, I must admit, is excellent.)  He know the proper pronunciation of most common dinosaur names and is always correcting me.

The bed time story we are reading to him this week is really physics.  It is an iPad app called Bobo Light.  It has lots of interactive items on each page that demonstrate how each aspect of the physics of light works.  It is fun, and we are learning some things, too (mainly me, there is not much that a former 2nd grade teacher does not know!)

Back to the butterflies - they have been in the chrysalis stage for several days now, so it was time to transfer them from their original container into the habitat.  What is cool is that when disturbed they wiggle back and forth quite vigorously inside the chrysalis.
