Butterflies!

Towards the end of the day on Friday we watched our first butterfly come out of her chrysalis! It was very exciting! We saw her curl and uncurl her proboscis, and sure enough, it was forked! We had learned that a butterfly must curl and uncurl her forked tongue in order to weave it into the tongue she will use to sip nectar. On Monday morning we were excited to find 3 butterflies flying in their cage! We put sliced oranges and watermelon in for them to "sip".

We also have noticed that our ladybug larva are much larger. We have seen them eat and we can see that they have molted. We expect to see the pupa stage soon!

A new favorite activity in our room has been to work on group puzzle builds -we had a blast last Friday morning working with our friends!

FIELD DAY is scheduled for Friday May 30. We will be in and out throughout the day -usually we do a few events outside, and then we come in and cool down and do a fun indoor activity before heading back outside. You may want to put sunscreen on your child before sending him to school. Children should wear comfortable shorts/T-shirts/running shoes for the playground. (No special color is necessary since we are a multi-age class.)
