Releasing our Butterflies and Ladybugs...

.


Our butterflies and ladybugs are  ready to be released !  The children are very excited and looking forward to releasing these beautiful little creatures back into nature.  During the week  the children took time to reflect on their wishes for the butterflies and ladybugs and drew pictures and wrote stories about their wishes.  We read, Butterfly House by Eve Bunting which was a beautiful story of  little girl who saves a tiny caterpillar, and helps her grandfather make a butterfly house to keep her safe.  They watch over the larva  as it transforms from caterpillar , to chrysalis to butterfly and to the  time of setting it free.















We shared in a very special experience together  as we opened the butterfly net and the ladybug home...

                         the children shared their hopes and dreams as the butterflies took flight.....
