Caterpillar Update

Both our caterpillars have now changed into their chrysalis and undergoing metamorphosis. We had thought one had died from falling off the swan plant and not returning. Last week we found 'lo and behold' a chrysalis attached to the classroom wall.
We have included a link for you to watch the life cycle of a Monarch butterfly, especially the wriggle dance at home Life Cycle of a Monarch Butterfly.
