Painted Lady Butterfly Videos

Here are a couple of videos of our special visitors that you might enjoy watching.

The first video is a Painted Lady caterpillar.  

The second video is about a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.  We were very excited to see our first butterfly today!  

Missing Jacket

One of our students is missing a black jacket.  It is a size 6 girl's jacket from Justice.  (Please see photo below.)  If your child has taken it home by mistake, please return it to school.
Thank you.

Caterpillar Update

The 15 caterpillars.  We wonder how many will be chrysalises tomorrow?

Three of the chrysalises.  They have attached themselves to the lids of the cups.  We then taped the lids to the cage.

Lost and Found

We have lost a number of scissors from our class.  We keep scissors at the snack table to help with the opening of various snacks.  Would you please look at home in case some scissors were mistakenly taken home.  Most of the missing scissors look like this:

We have also found 2 sweaters in our room and no one has claimed them.  Here are photos of the sweaters:

If the sweater(s) belong to your child, please let us know and we will send it home.

Our Special Visitors Have Arrived!

Each caterpillar is in its own little cup.  The yellowish stuff in the cup is the caterpillar food.

The caterpillars look spikey.
