Preschoolers Raise Butterflies and Then Set Them Free

The Acorn Cottage at Harker Preschool raised a swarm of Painted Lady butterflies over the past few weeks, patiently observing and documenting their progressĀ as they went through the life cycle: larva, caterpillar, resting caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly. The activity came to a wonderful ending, as students cheered each of the five butterflies as they flew off to find nectar and continue their journey.
