What an exciting day we had! Our chrysalis became transparent last night and while we were at Library and Music, our butterfly emerged from its chrysalis. We spent the afternoon reading "Gotta Go, Gotta Go" and making butterfly crowns to wear during the send-off. Mrs. F's class joined us in saying goodbye to our friend. He was reluctant to leave us so we left him in the butterfly garden outside the school. We know that when his wings become stronger, he will be ready to take off on his journey to Mexico. We had a great time while chanting,
"I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go to Mexico."
Unfortunately, Eoin, who originally brought the caterpillar to our class was not at school today. We hope he enjoys these pictures. We missed you Eoin and thanks for helping us enjoy and learn all about butterflies!
