December 17, 2009 Day 32 Butterflies flock to the feeding trays...
After spending the morning in the larger screened terrarium hanging from the ceiling, the butterflies were transferred back to the feeding trays where they drank heartily, dipping their proboscis deep into the pompoms.
As a kindergarten class, we are thinking out of the box a bit these days. Last week we joined Monarch Watch's Monarchs in Space project and along with crew of the STS-129 Mission to the International Space Station, we are raising monarch caterpillars and learning more about the metamorphosis of the caterpillar to butterfly.
Thanks to the educational initiatives of our tireless, passionate friends at Monarch Watch who made this project possible, we continue to be inspired by the wonder of wings on earth and beyond.
