Butterfly Life Cycle
Mrs. Harvey provided our class with a monarch caterpillar so students could witness the life cycle of a butterfly. Our caterpillar decided to do most of his changing overnight when we were all asleep, so we watched videos that showed the different changes in action. Ask your child about the molting and chrysalis videos; students were captivated. Wednesday night our butterfly emerged and we had a new friend to greet us Thursday morning. This was the same day we were also welcoming a new student into our class! We released our butterfly Thursday afternoon so that he could begin his long journey south.
We will be studying life cycles and food webs during science beginning in October.
