Metamorphasis


Butterfly pavilion
Chrysalises


We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our butterflies!  Each caterpillar has formed a chrysalis.  We carefully moved them into the butterfly pavilion.  Any day now we should have butterflies!  The boys and girls run to check each morning when they get to school.  I hope we are at school when they hatch so we can watch.  What a wonderful learning experience this metamorphasis has been!  I'm looking forward to our Lanark field trip coming up on Monday.   We will also be learning about weather and the four seasons this week.
