Butterflies!

In October (yes, it's been a while), my students did animal reports. Part of their responsibility was to create a model of their animal in its habitat. Solomona went one step beyond creating a model and actually brought in caterpillars in his habitat box.After my glowing reaction, he brought 5 chrysali (chrysalises?) in, attached to leaves. We hung the leaves in our windows and hoped for the best, not knowing how transporting them from their original location would fare. All hatched into butterflies before our eyes! What an amazing opportunity to witness the miracle of nature.
