Monarch Butterflies

We have had many caterpillars in our classroom. We have watched them eating and eating and growing bigger and bigger. We now have thirteen chrysalises! Some of the caterpillars crawled a long way looking for food so some of the chrysalises are in strange places. We will now watch the changes that take place in the chrysalises and wait for the butterflies to emerge. Last week we were lucky to see one caterpillar change into a chrysalis. It was amazing!

Yesterday we watched it turning into a chrysalis. It wriggled and jiggled. Its skin dropped.

One day I saw a caterpillar turning into a chrysalis. It wriggled and jiggled. I was surprised when the caterpillar turned into a chrysalis. Today I saw some more chrysalises.

When the caterpillar was nibbling it turned into a chrysalis and then it turned into a butterfly. It flew away. Yesterday we watched another caterpillar turn into a chrysalis.

When I came in the classroom I saw a butterfly flying around outside. It was very pretty.

Caterpillars are very special. The butterflies are special too. The caterpillars have been moving around. They have been making chrysalises in silly places.

The caterpillar grows and grows and grows then the caterpillar turns into a chrysalis.

When I came into the class I saw the caterpillar chewing and growing and it got bigger and bigger and bigger!  It turned into a chrysalis for two weeks. When it hatched it was a butterfly.

The caterpillars are going to funny places. Three caterpillars are hanging on the wall.

I saw a caterpillar turn into a chrysalis. It was wriggling and jiggling and the skin fell off.
