Bye-Bye, Butterflies!

We have watched the entire life cycle of a butterfly "unfold"

in front of our eyes!    

It has been amazing!

Today, we said goodbye to our 25 butterflies. 

It was a joyous day,

as we knew our learning is done!

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 comes a beautful butterfly!

I Love you, Mommy!

We celebrated our moms with a

special concert, hand massages, reading of cards, delivery of handmade gifts, and a yummy strawberry float!

The love was in the air...it was magical and memorable!

Mom,

Do you know how much I love you?

First, touch the ground.  Reach for the sky.

Get down low, then jump real high.

Put one arm out and then the other.

That's how much I love you!

 

Happy Mother's Day!

We have Chrysalis'!

Our itty-bitty caterpillars have been eating, molting their skin, hung upside down in a "J" form, and now they are in their chrysalis! 

 

 

They are sleeping inside their cozy house for a few more days. 

Room 5 thinks we will have beautiful butterflies by next week!

It is pretty exciting to witness the life cycle of a butterfly! 

I bet every househould is learning a lot of vocabulary words, too!
