Kindergarten learned about Butterflies
Some kindergarten students (Lewis, Williams, Scott) have been learning about the life cycle of Painted Lady Butterflies. Since the beginning of school they have watched caterpillars change into butterflies. This morning they released their Painted Lady Butterflies into the Butterfly garden and surrounding areas.
