Bittersweet Butterfly Goodbyes

Last week we had to say goodbye to our Painted Lady butterflies. We set them free in the park by the school. Our class had such mixed feelings on saying goodbye to them. Overheard while we were at the park, "Why do they have to go?" "We are like their moms and dads!" We learned that releasing the  butterflies will help to replenish butterflies in our community. They will find a habitat that is suited for them, find the nectar they need from the flowers and plants in the wildlife, and in turn create more butterflies! Thank you to Ms. Maunder for organizing this wonderful learning experience and arranging the kits from Lucy's Butterfly Farm in Apsley, Ontario, www.lucysbutterflyfarm.com
