Butterfly Release

We have been so busy this spring! After spring break, we were sent 5 caterpillars to put in our live habitat in our classroom. We read lots of books, researched painted lady butterflies and observed our caterpillars daily. After 2 weeks, our 5 caterpillars made chrysalises and turned into 5 beautiful butterflies! We took them outside in our school's garden and let them go. One butterfly just couldn't get enough of our class and stuck around to let everyone take pictures with it. This was an awesome experience and one the HBees will never forget!
