Studying Butterflies

• This spring, our class was thrilled to watch as our tiny caterpillars ate, grew and ate some more. We waited with anticipation as they changed within each chrysalis and became 23 beautiful Painted Lady butterflies.

Time to Fly

Here we are waiting and ready to say goodbye!

All Aflutter with Excitement!

The butterflies were so excited to be close to nature!

Sweet freedom!

We wished our little buddies well on their new journey.

Oh, Stay… Just a Little Bit Longer

One butterfly was a little slow to take flight.

Stretching Our Wings

Finally, this butterfly had to take time to stretch its’ wings and warm up to the new feel of the sun on its’ face!

Working on this presentation with our students has been a fun project. The finished work included here shows a variety of writing processes. Some students have used “kid-writing” freely, while others have used lists of words as references or copied after dictating to a teacher. All student entries were typed by the author.
