Butterfly Ball

Kaitlyn and William and I just went to Sarah's class for her "Butterfly ball" I was asked to read a story to the class to start out the ball. It was called, "Hurry and the Monarch". It was a cute little story about a tortoise named Hurry, and a Monarch butterfly. The kids were very attentive, and I asked them questions throughout the story and let them share a little bit about what they had learned in their butterfly unit as we talked about the story. It was really fun.

After the story, another mom had the class make a butterfly snack. They spread peanut butter on two slices of apple for the wings, then put a pretzel stick in between the apple slices for the body. Then they decorated the "wings" by putting m&m's on the peanutbutter. It was very cute. The picture is another snack that a mom gave them.

We got to look at the work that they had done for their butterfly unit. One of the things I thought was neat was the "butterfly in the cacoon" project they made. They colored a paper butterfly and put it on a popsicle stick, and then decorated a toilet paper tube as the cacoon. They rolled the butterfly up and slid it inside it's cacoon. Very cute.
