Josh's Butterfly

One of the favorite activities for all of my second graders was learning about the butterfly life cycle.  Each of the kids got their own caterpillar which was kept at the school.  They got to watch them over the course of several days until they transformed into a chrysalis and then to a butterfly.  Then they get to take their butterfly home.  Josh was excited when his butterfly emerged.  He brought her home and named her "Goldilocks."  He kept her for a few days at home and then we decided it was time to set her free!
