Today we started learning about the butterfly life cycle. We learned that butterflies actually start as eggs and then a caterpillar hatches from the egg. We haven't seen it yet but we learned that the next step is a chrysalis or pupa and, finally a butterfly! We have a whole jar of caterpillars in our classroom that are munching away on milkweeds! One has already started to make a chrysalis and several more are getting ready. We will be observing our caterpillars closely and waiting patiently for them hatch into monarch butterflies!
