Today was the first day of school. We spent the day talking about bathroom breaks and pencil holders and lots of important stuff like that. I don't usually get into subject matter until the second week of school, but today we did science all afternoon.
The monarch caterpillars are finishing up their Minnesota life cycle. They will soon all be butterflies on their long flight to Mexico. If we don't act now, it will be too late! I have spent the last week searching the ditches for caterpillars for our first science lesson. Today we took a close look at them and the milkweed plant that they eat and live on. Soon (maybe even tomorrow) they will all be chrysalises transforming into butterflies.
