Today we pretended to be a butterfly and drank nectar (lemonade) through a proboscis (straw). A proboscis is a butterfly's tongue and works like a straw. Children had their wings (arms) behind them as they drank as this is what a butterfly does when it lands and rests.
We released our butterflies today! First, we read a story called, Gotta Go! Gotta Go!. The story was about a butterfly migrating to Mexico. Then, we took our butterflies outside and let them go! It took them awhile to fly out of the butterfly garden we kept them in. We were thinking they might want to stay with us!! One of our butterflies had a wing that didn't develop right. So, we helped this butterfly find a place in the garden. Unfortunately, it probably won't be able to fly.
Concerned about our butterfly with only one working wing.
Today we helped Cody celebrate his summer birthday! Cody's dad read the story, The Giant Jam Sandwich. Then, we ate drumsticks for Cody's birthday snack. Happy Birthday ( a little early), Cody!
