Our caterpillars arrived Thursday. Here are some of the comments my students made Friday as they observed our new guests:
They're adorable!
Why are they so tiny?
What are those sticking out things?
How many legs do they have?
How many are there? Oh, I see. Six!
What's that yellow stuff? Is it honey?
How many legs do they have?
Oh, I have to order some of those for my house!
Will they be butterflies soon?
How will they get out of their shell after they make it?
Do they have a mouth?
What will they do while we are gone?
We're on our second set. The first set decided to hatch out of the chrysalises while the kids were on break. I ordered another set, they were really tiny at the beginning of the week, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were chrysalises by Monday. The kids are pretty excited.
