Bye-Bye, Butterflies!

After about 28 days, we have witnessed    3 of the 4 stages of a butterfly's life cycle
 It was amazing to watch the excitement and joy of the KinderKids as they studied/evaluated/explored
the science of it all. 
 
Can your child tell you the 4 stages? 
Are they using scientific terms? 
What is the name of the plant that caterpillars eat? 
What does a butterfly eat? 
 How does a butterfly eat?
We had a celebration on the day we said, "Goodbye" to our butterflies! 
 As sad as Room 408 was to see them leave our classroom, we knew they would love the wildlife sanctuary on the side of Whitney Elementary. 
There's a butterfly on this child's finger.  Look closely! 
Please stop by and see if any of our butterflies are still enjoying their new habitat.
Bye-Bye, Butterflies! 

**Song to sing to the tune of Up on the Housetop:
First comes a butterfly that lays an egg.
Out comes a caterpillar with many legs.
Oh, see the caterpillar spin and spin.
A little chrysalis to sleep in.
Oh, oh, oh...wait and see.  Oh, oh, oh...wait and see.
Out of the chrysalis, my-oh-my!
Out comes a beautiful BUTTERFLY!
