The Butterflies are Coming!

Today our first butterfly emerged from its chrysalis! It was so exciting to watch it in action. Students were amazed that it was actually a butterfly coming out when only last week it was a caterpillar crawling around in a tiny cup. When I left school today there were two more butterflies in the mesh habitat. I can't wait to see what awaits us Monday morning! Check out the new pictures and short video clips.

PLAY DAY

Play Day has been moved to Wednesday, April 27. Yes, that is TOMORROW! Please make sure your child wears sneakers, shorts, and a hat or sunglasses. We are going to show our team spirit by wearing our class tie-dye shirts. I have many of the shirts here at school but please double check to see if your child's shirt is at home. If anyone would like to donate a class set of Popsicles to enjoy after play day we would appreciate it.

Butterflies

Last Friday we started our science unit on the Life Cycle of a Butterfly. It was so exciting to observe our caterpillars on Day 1. This morning we noticed they have grown so much already! Each student has their own caterpillar to observe as it grows and changes. We've observed the caterpillars eating, crawling around and even "dancing"! We'll keep you updated as we learn all about the life cycle of a butterfly.
