The students were making their final observations when "right before our eyes" (quoted from Alex) two butterflies emerged from their chrysalises! The children have named the first butterfly, Jeremy and we are anxiously awaiting the name of our second butterfly.

| Every student silently observed our first butterfly emerge from his chrysalis...meet Jeremy! |
We are planning to release all 19 butterflies soon so that they can safely
migrate their way to warmer weather in Mexico.
Click on the highlighted word above to see a National Geographic video showing the long migration of Monarch butterflies arriving in Mexico.
Can you predict how long it will take for our classroom butterflies to make their way to Mexico? Watch the video first and then use your new knowledge to form a strong prediction, record your prediction below in comments. Be sure to share your prediction with family and friends.

| One last chrysalis left, I wonder how much longer it will be before a beautiful butterfly emerges? |
I predict it will take two weeks to get to Mexico.
