We are learning about butterflies this spring. This year we are raising butterflies so students can witness their miraculous life cycle change up close. A special thanks to the PTO for the funds to purchase our butterfly kits!  We are raising Painted Lady butterflies.  They arrived as caterpillars in little jars on May 3rd. The jar contains the food the caterpillars eat. For the first 48 hours the caterpillars might be quite still while they adjust and acclimate to their new surroundings.  Then they will be busy eating and growing! They will shed their exoskeletons several times while growing.  Stay tuned to see what happens next!
