Room 12's Monarch Butterfly

We have been very lucky to have been able to watch caterpillars and Monarch Butterfly's around our classroom as Hollie's Mum brought us a swan plant. We had some big caterpillars that we thought would turn into a chrysalis. But we came back after the weekend and they had disappeared! We were very disappointed.

But on Monday Miss S. brought the swan plant inside the classroom. When we moved the pot we discovered a chrysalis hanging on the side of our pot! We were VERY excited to see it there. We watched and waited for it to hatch... and it did on Wednesday! Here is a movie of our butterfly trying out her new long legs and wings.

Wow, you guys must have been really excited when the butterfly hatched out from the crysalis. We enjoyed watching your butterfly movie. Thanks for sharing it with us and letting us visit your classroom.
