This afternoon, Arianna and I watched a Brain Pop Jr. learning video about Lewis and Clark. We learned about how Thomas Jefferson signed the Louisiana Purchase and sent this team, along with the Corps of Discovery on an expedition to the Pacific Ocean. Clark handled the maps and navigation, while Lewis gathered information about plants and animals he observed on the journey. We talked about the British, Spanish, and U.S. territories at that time as well. They met Sacagawea and her husband Charbonneau along the way and they accompanied them on the rest of their trip to serve as translators. We went through the easy quiz together and discussed the information presented. In preparation for an upcoming field trip, we also read a little bit about butterflies. We looked at pictures of various butterflies and caterpillars. We were excited to learn that many of them can be found in Florida. We discussed that adult butterflies do not bite and are not harmful. However, in discussing the young butterfly (caterpillar), they can cause stings and eat quite a bit on our plants!
