2.1.3 Use strategies to draw conclusions from information and apply knowledge to curricular areas, real world situations, and further investigations.
Grade 2 **Butterflies**

1.What does it look like when the standards are met? Students will do a unit activity on the lifecycle of a butterfly. They will follow the stages of the butterfly from the egg, larva, caterpillar, chrysalis, to the butterfly. Students will be introduced to a KWL chart where the whole class will brainstorm what they know, want to know about the lifecycle of a butterfly. Then the students will journal the daily progress of the stages on a science graphic organizer. (Students will be broken up into groups and journal together so they can collaborate on their findings.) Using what they learn they will complete their KWL chart and compare the new ideas with what was known at the beginning of the inquiry. For reference the following websites will be used: [] [] & [] http://www.ncwiseowl.com

2. How will you help students to meet this indicator? What will you have done? As the teacher-librarian students will be guided through the use of the graphic organizers throughout the project. With guidance the students will be able to make inferences regarding the lifecycle of the butterfly. I will also direct them through websites that will help be a point of reference for their journaling and class KWL chart.
