Butterfly Release!

 This week, we had our butterfly, Scooter, come out of our chrysalis!!  The students were so excited that everything "worked" the way I had been telling them it would!  Sadly, I think we are only going to have this one butterfly, the other chrysalis didn't fully form.

In order to have both classes see a release, the morning class joined another class for their release of Buddy and Beauty.  Here they are in the cage.

 We opened the top, but they didn't want to leave!!

Beauty is somewhere in this picture :)

And this is Buddy!  (look closely, near the center of the picture)  Buddy flew around for a bit then landed in the tree right above us!

 Waving goodbye to Buddy!

Here is Scooter!  Flapping his wings, getting ready for his trip to Mexico!

About to release him...

He didn't want to leave either, so I had to put him on my finger...but he didn't want to leave my finger.  We figured he just loved Kindergarten so much :)  He finally flew off and we were able to see him fly for quite some time!! 

Goodbye Scooter!!  We will see you in the spring when you return from your "vacation!"
