We Have Butterflies!

The students have enjoyed watching our little caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies.  When the caterpillars arrived they were very tiny. We measured them as they grew from 1 c.m. to 5 c.m.  We were excited when the caterpillars climbed to the top of our jar and were hanging like the letter j.  Sometime on October 4th or October 5th, they were all in a chrysalis!  We patiently waited and when we arrived at school yesterday we had 3 butterflies. Then throughout the day a few more emerged and we now have 6 butterflies.  They like the juice from an orange slice.  We'll continue to observe them this week and let them go by Friday!
