On September 21st, I met PJ for his 5th tutoring session. At the beginning of this session, I had PJ watch a video on the life cycle of butterflies and another on how Monarch butterflies migrate and hibernate for the winter. After watching this, I answered some of PJ's questions and we discussed the changes some insects go through. After this video, PJ read an article on how butterflies and beetles change throughout their life cycle. After reading, I had PJ verbally answer some comprehension questions. We then watched another video to see how Ladybugs, which are beetles, change during their life cycle. We discussed the role of predator and prey, cannibalism, and what other bugs molt their skin as they grow. PJ was able to recall that spiders also shed their skin as they grow bigger, just as beetles and caterpillars. We then read another story called "Terra's Terrarium". Before beginning, I explained to PJ what a terrarium was and quickly looked up what they look like and how to make them. I later had PJ read the story aloud and answer some comprehension questions at the end.
