A Flutter Of Science & Smiles 🦋
This month, the Kindergarten students have been observing the life stages of a butterfly for Science Class. Over the past few weeks, they watched in wonder as tiny caterpillars formed their chrysalises, and this week, the magic moment arrived as beautiful butterflies emerged! Today, the Kindergarteners said goodbye to their fluttering friends, happily waving as the butterflies settled into their new stage of life in the classrooms.
We wish everyone a fantastic and restful long weekend!
