What an exciting day!

butterfly.jpgOur painted lady butterflies emerged.  Four out of five were released onto our class tree this afternoon!  It was a beautiful sight!

We talked about all the metamorphis that took place and changed the caterpillar into a butterfly.  We learned the word proboscis (which is the straw like tongue of the butterfly).

We also saw that our poor plants without air, sun or with too much water were stressed and the one in the best environment with ample sun, air, water and soil grew large! 

 Thank you for the gifts and lovely notes for teacher appreciation week.  If you drove by school on Friday, there were signs all over the front lawn saying "Consolidated teachers rock!" and other similar beautifully handmade by student signs.  It was amazing !  Thank you one and all!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.  Enjoy the time with family and friends and remembering those that have passed away.  I still love you dad!  Nancy
