 * Interpersonal Tasks:**
 * -** Dice game - Students work in groups passing cube and saying body parts to each other (activity 3).

- Students will hide butterflies on similar colored surfaces (camouflage).

 * Activity 3 - Galina -** body part dice game (turn taking etiquette) (I DO: Galina reviews body parts and demonstrates game, WE DO: Students repeat body parts and colors, YOU DO: Students play game, make chart (with help from teachers as needed)).
 * Activity 4 - Jamie -** Life Cycle Game Review (I DO: Jamie names four stages of life cycle in order, WE DO: Students repeat stages, YOU DO: Students color and paste stages in order).
 * Activity 5 - Natalia and Vadi -** Camouflage (I DO: Natalia and Vadi teach new word "bird", explain camouflage game, demonstrate hiding butterflies, YOU DO: Students hide butterflies, "birds" search for butterflies).
