We were able to experience the life cycle of a butterfly in our classroom. A Monarch caterpillar was brought in by one of my students and we named him Spot. (The whole class voted.) The process was really fun to watch. We got Spot as a small caterpillar and watched him eat ... and eat ... and eat! Soon he attached to the under side of a leaf and turned into a chrysalis. About two weeks later we watched as he emerged as a BEAUTIFUL Monarch butterfly! Here a some pictures!
