Pre-K doing their Butterfly Release at the superintendents house🦋🌺 The Pre-K class has been studying the life cycle of the Painted Lady Butterfly. We watched caterpillars grow into chrysalides, then metamorphose to become beautiful butterflies. So today, after 21 days of waiting and watching, the butterflies were released into their natural environment. Thank you to Deanie Sherrell for letting our butterflies enjoy your beautiful flowers.
