Origami butterflies!
We made amazing origami butterflies with our buddy class LZ9 and now they are hanging up in class. We wanted them to look like real monarch butterflies so were very careful to look at patterns and colour the right colour in the right place. When the wind blows they look as if they are flying!

Our first butterfly!



Look at our first beautiful monarch butterfly! She hatched yesterday morning and was waiting for us when we got to class. She spent hours hanging off the plant and drying her wings before flying off to lay eggs in the afternoon. We were mesmerized watching her for most of the day!
We also have another 3 chrysalis and several caterpillars will be turning in the next few days.

Our caterpillar stories!

Today we looked at caterpillars in LZ6 and I held the caterpillars. They looked long and fat and stripy too. The stripes are yellow and black and white. It's legs are sticky so it can stick on the plant.

Today LZ6 looked at caterpillars because we wanted to find out about them. Do you know what it felt like? Like a very soft cushion. It was softer then I thought. Caterpillars make green pooh which is disgusting. Do you know why we don't make green pooh? Because we don't eat green leaves!

Watch the caterpillar change to a chrysalis!
We found this video on YouTube today. One of our caterpillars is hanging from a leaf in the j shape which tells us it will soon be changing into a chrysalis. This video shows what will happen.
We have a new caterpillar!

Crazy Caterpillars!

Look at the crazy caterpillars we have in LZ6! We have named them Huey, Duey and Luey. We are having fun watching them move and grow. We cannot believe how many leaves they eat each day and how fast they change!
