Butterfly Garden

Thanks Aunt Audene for our Butterfly Garden. It was so fun to see the miracle of nature and watch these caterpillars, or callepitars, as we call them, turn into beautiful butterflies.

Since it is the end of the school year and Sydney's preschool has already finished the alphabet, they were allowed to bring anything they wanted for show and tell on Thursday. Sydney decided she would bring in her butterfly garden. What great timing, all the butterflies had just come out of their cacoons(?) the day before. As she walked into the classroom all the kids in her class AND all the kids from the classroom next door surrounded her to see what she had. She was so proud. I love to see her smug little smile! It was the hit of the day. What a great show and tell!!

We let all the butterflies go that afternoon, after school. Now we're on the lookout for our butterflies in the neighborhood.
