Superhero Book Character Day

Wow what a fun day we had dressed up as Superheros! Snow White, The Cat in the Hat, Ninja Turtles, Spider-Men and more. We looked great!

Our Monarch Butterfly!

On Thursday Mrs Blakesley noticed that a chrysalis on our swan plant had turned transparent.  

Mrs Blakesley brought the chrysalis inside so we could watch it.

We could see the black and orange Monarch butterfly inside.

Within minutes the chrysalis split open and monarch butterfly emerged.

Riley said that the butterfly's legs were long and skinny like a spiders.  It's sticky legs helped the butterfly to cling onto the branch.

We watched as the butterfly moved out of the chrysalis and slowly began to unfold it's wings.

Slowly the butterfly's wings dried and filled with blood so it could fly for the first time.

This amazing change is called metamorphosis.  We were so lucky to watch it happen!
