Butterflies and gifts!

We arrived at school today to see that one of our butterflies had emerged from a chrysalis! We watched for a long time, very quietly, and saw this butterfly pump up her wings. Soon, she began to fly around the cage. We added an orange slice and some lilacs for our butterflies. They will sip the nectar and juice with their proboscis (the curled up, straw like tongue that butterflies have). Maybe our other butterflies will be out by Monday.
We had a great time mixing up our special Mother's Day gift for all of you! We hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoy this special gift and card!

We began reading "Charlotte's Web" this week. This is a wonderful read aloud chapter book - my favorite! We are learning to stretch our attention span as well as our imaginations by listening to this story. Today we read the chapter where Wilber meets his new friend, Charlotte.
Next Thursday is our Field Trip to the Outdoor Center. May 29 at 2:00 is our Friendship Celebration - you are all invited to join us!
