From Ms. Coffey:

The first graders have been studying the life cycle of a butterfly. They enjoyed stories ad learned about the many changes they go through. They witnessed he larva change into caterpillars, then into a chrysalis and finally emerging into beautiful Monarch Butterflies. They were sad to see them go but knew they would be happier outside among the flowers. The children released the butterflies in the schoolyard yesterday (May 6, 2010).
