From a student

We had a student in afternoon who had exciting news from home. She had a butterfly habitat with some live cocoons and one hatched on Wednesday morning. Her mom was nice enough to let her bring it to school and the kids were really fascinated! We had just been talking about the stages of a butterfly's life (we did the sequencing page that came home last week) and this was a great hands-on application. Took a picture-my best guess is that the butterfly is a "painted lady," but that's just a guess-I am no entomologist!
