The Butterflies Are Free!

Today was the big day! As soon as we got to school we realized it was a perfect day to let our butterflies free! As soon as we opened the top of the home about 10 butterflies flew out. The rest had to be coaxed out. After the first ten or so butterflies were out the boys started to chase them all over. The girls took turns gently helping the other ones out of the container. After the butterflies were all out, the kids really enjoyed seeing them fly all around-and the boys enjoyed chasing them! As we were walking home we stopped to enjoy all the new little ducklings on the lake. That was a perfect ending for our unit on life cycles. Well we actually aren't finished yet.

  And the boys go crazy!

 I love how the girls on the left are ducking back from the butterfly!

 The ducklings were perfect timing.
