Mrs. Sloan's class cared for the caterpillars and watched them as they moved through their stages. This is right in tune with Ohio's Life Science standard for kindergarten, focusing on observing, exploring, describing and comparing living things in Ohio.
This week the creatures emerged from their crysalises and were ready to fly free. The children were considerate and appreciative observers as the colorful butterflies took flight from the basket one by one. Our students hoped the pretty insects wouldn't fly too far right away so they could see them again during recess 😎
This fun experience was a memorable home/school collaboration. Thank you to George's parents, Mrs. Sloan, and all the children for their interest in Ohio's natural wonders!
