Butterflies have hatched!

We've been patiently watching our chrysalis to watch when they turn into butterflies! We got to let them go! Unfortunately, it was so windy this year that when Ms. Schlegel got them out, the wind just took them right away instead of letting them hang out on our fingers like they usually do!

Chrysalis!

A couple weeks ago our caterpillars turned into chrysalis. It was super fun to watch them wiggle all over and shed their skin which we know is called - molting! We pinned them up in our butterfly pavilion to watch them grow into butterflies!

Butterflies are HERE!

Your 2nd Grader may have told you one of the things they are the most excited about in 2nd grade. They have probably heard from other people that we get to do butterflies and they are finally here!

We set our caterpillars into their little cups with their food and the lids covered in gauze so they could attach to them. We already have some changing into chrysalis!

You will hear SO many things about butterfly activity in our room!

Here's a few pictures to see what's going on!

Butterfly Release!

We let our butterflies go last week! Our kids were kind of sad because we had raised them from when they were caterpillars and now they are out in our courtyard! They flew everywhere and we all got to hold them!
