Lifecycles abound!

      DID YOU KNOW OUR BUTTERFLIES HATCHED???!!!
When we came in after the long weekend, 5 of 7 butterflies had come out of their chrysalises. We are waitingfor one more, but it might not come. These are Painted Lady butterflies. We will release them soon.









This morning we went out to get some fresh pond water for our tadpoles. We went behind the school. It was awesome. We found snails and water beetles in the water. Then we came inside and added the new water to the old water. Kade estimates there are about 25 tadpoles in the water table. When we were doing some close observations and sketching today, we think we see some froglets forming!



Our two chicks hatched on the weekend! We have named the light one Fluffy and the darker one is Cuddles.
