Painted Lady Butterflies

On Friday May 6, 2010, the kindergarten classes released their Painted Lady Butterflies.  Over the past three and a half weeks, the students watched the larvae grow into large furry caterpillars and then transform into chrysalises.  After spring break, the students were excited to find Painted Ladies emerging from their chrysalises.  They were pleased to release the butterflies in a field of blooming wildflowers, where they will feed and lay their eggs and continue the Painted Lady life cycle.
