The butterfly experiment

Here is the whole process that each kid in JJ's class went through today as part of the science experiment: They broke out of their egg (swimming pool)as a caterpillar and got in their cocoon (t-shirt). From there they had to eat lettuce (yes, JJ just pretend to munch!) so they could grow bigger. Once they did they, they were wrapped in their chrysalis (streamers) which they broke out of to become a caterpillar and get wings. From there, they had to drink nectar (apple juice) out of their "proboscis" (straw). I learned this new word today along with JJ and his class!
I would say JJ is pretty blessed this year with a creative and fun teacher!

  1. Good grief! Sam and I are wiping the tears from our eyes from laughing at the last picture. (A good laugh, JJ!!) We love it! Wings look great on him. And he's wearing the Keens that Bug wanted (but Momma talked him out of them/didn't order them. He got the camos instead.) Oh, so funny! Y'all are so fun!!!!
