Painted Ladies in Town!

 
Our class had the wonderful opportunity to raise Painted Lady butterflies. Our butterfly keepers took charge upon their arrival. We each had our own to observe and record their changes in our butterfly booklets. Each child noted changes from two perspectives. One as the butterfly and one as the observer.This will come in handy when we write our Ode to the Butterfly in a Two Voice Poem.

We also enjoyed learning about the Monarch  on the Journey North-Monarch
 website. We recorded our notes in our booklet as well. Take a look at our movie at the bottom of this blog entry to see our release of our butterflies!
