The Monarch Butterfly

This week, the children have been learning about the life cycle of a monarch butterfly.  They have been discussing the wonders of how the butterfly grows and changes from an egg to an amazing creature.  There is something quite magical and special about this transformation, especially during the 'chrysalis stage.'  Some of the children have been having a closer look around the school and found swan plants where the different butterfly stages were in action...WOW!!!  The children also discussed how and why we need to care for monarch butterflies.  Enjoy some of the children's drawings of the four stages of the monarch butterfly, and a photo album shown to the class by Danica.
