Fluttering friends

Some of you know that we were fortunate enough to have beautiful monarch chrysalis in our classroom. Before school had started, I had collected the caterpillars, then they magically turned into gorgeous chrysalis.

 We have been avidly watching them in the classroom, and they have turned from a lovely green with gold dots, to black, signalling the start of a the next part of their metamorphosis.

We now have 7 monarchs fluttering about.

Just hatched!

Nature is so amazing, we are waiting for warmer weather so we can release them!
