The Life Cycle of Butterflies....


                         Prek 3 has been learning all about the life cycle of the butterfly.... 



                            They have 5 painted lady butterflies living in their classroom. 



                 They have been involved in many activities related to this theme, two of which were building a 
                 large hungry caterpillar and making a Yummy caterpillar to eat!
                 They will end their unit by releasing their butterflies next week!!!
