Caterpillars

This week, something exciting arrived in our classroom — a cup full of tiny caterpillars from Insect Lore! The children were full of curiosity and wonder as we carefully opened the package and took our first look at these wriggly little creatures.

Together, we thoughtfully chose the perfect spot in the classroom to place them: somewhere safe, quiet, and warm, where we can all easily observe their transformation. The children were full of great ideas and showed so much care in helping create a cozy and respectful environment for our new classroom guests.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be watching closely as the caterpillars grow, form their chrysalises, and eventually emerge as beautiful butterflies. This hands-on experience is a wonderful way for the children to learn about the butterfly life cycle and the magic of nature — all in real time.
