From Caterpillars to Butterflies!

Kindergarten learned all about the different stages in a Butterfly's Life Cycle. We were recently given the opportunity to watch this cycle day by day. The kindergarten class was given 5 caterpillars that were so tiny when we first received them that we could barely see them. Over time, they ate and ate until they were much larger and ready to go into their cocoons. We waited patiently for them to emerge and they did! Our caterpillars turned into beautiful butterflies. We fed them oranges until all of our caterpillars emerged from their cocoons. Then we went outside to let all of our butterflies free.
