So our silkworms made their cocoons too fast and I am sorry to say that not all of the students got to take them home for a night. However, in a few days we should see the moths come out and then start laying eggs. So we will be having many little baby silkworms very soon.
To end the year and this unit, I am going to be sending a letter home next week about an upcoming field trip to a silkworm farm. This will be a perfect way for the students to see the entire process of making silk from silkworms.
Our performance is only a few days away and we all have been working very hard; it’s going to be a great show! On the same day there will be art work on display from all of the grades in Mrs. Willis classroom (next door to mine). The entire day is going to be dedicated to the arts, so I all hope you can make it!
