Fly Butterflies Fly!

We released our butterflies last week. We will miss them. We know they will enjoy the outdoors as much as we do!

Here are our thoughts:
I liked releasing the butterflies. One stayed on my finger. I had to go to the flowers and try to get it off my finger. Desi helped me. -Adria
It was funny that they flew all over the place. Some stuck on the flowers and fingers. -Marshall
It was sad because we had to release the butterflies, but I liked holding the butterflies. -Bianca

I got the butterflies on the plate. It had sugar water to feed them when they were in our class. -Charlotte
I didn't want to hold the butterflies so I did not. I saw some of them would not get off the students' fingers. -Arianna
I got a butterfly and I saw another one. I put it on my finger. -Chase
I liked when we released the butterflies because they looked pretty when we saw them fly away -Theo
We did our butterfly release. It was fun. I did not get to take a butterfly out, but other friends did. One flew so far that I could not see it. -Brody
I didn't like letting the butterflies out. We had to let them out because we had no flowers for them. -Lily
I helped the butterflies fly. I put sugar water on my finger. I did not touch the wings. I feel happy because I love butterflies. -Desi

I tried my best to get a butterfly on my finger, but it didn't get on. That's okay. -Blake
When Mrs. Tresoor got one of the butterflies out it came on my arm and it stayed on. When we were going back in, I put it on a flower. -Jack
I did not want to hold a butterfly so I decided to watch. I saw some butterflies fly away -Brooke
I feel sad because I miss the butterflies very much and it was cool to have one on my finger. -Ben

It was amazing to see how our caterpillars went through all the changes to become beautiful butterflies! We can only wonder where their wings will take them . . .
