Setting Them Free

We set our Painted Lady butterflies free today. 

Four emerged from their chrysalises and after letting their wings dry for a day they were ready to fly!

We were super excited to see them fly, but we were a bit sad to see them go!

Go pollinate our world, butterflies!

Chemical Bank Teaches Us About Saving Money

Representatives from Chemical Bank came to our classroom today to teach us about saving money!

They read us a great story about a squirrel saving his acorns for the winter - which reminded us why it's important to save money for things we might need or want later!

We took some time to think about what things we might want to save our money for.

Writing down our goals helps us to reach them!

Thanks Chemical Bank for teaching us this important lesson about money!

Caterpillars!

Caterpillars have arrived in our classroom!  They start out so tiny...

...but they keep eating and growing and eating and growing...

...and within a week they have become HUGE caterpillars!

Did you know a caterpillar will shed its skin five times before making a chrysalis?

Once our caterpillars form chrysalises, it will be about ten days until we have butterflies!

What an amazing transformation these beautiful creatures make!
