Our Monarch Butterfly hatched from its chrysalis on a Saturday :(
We can make plans, but we can not plan nature!
I was able to keep her happy with fresh flowers for nectar and water until Tuesday, when all of the boys and girls would have a chance to see her.
That butterfly was so FAST, she must have really been ready to go.
She flew up very high, very fast. She did not pose for a picture!
I think the looks on their faces are priceless. If you look carefully at the top, right hand corner, you can see her wing.
Even though they didn't get to see her emerge, they got to see her fly away!
As she went, I heard a sweet little voice say, "Oh, I see she's already off to Mexico"- just when you think they are not listening! This student remembered what we learned about the Monarch's migration habits and applied it to our experience!
