This week in our nursery classes, we are continuing to watch our caterpillars eat and eat and eat and get fatter and fatter and fatter!!! We are waiting for them to get sleepy and stay in their chrysalis for about two weeks and then come out as BEAUTIFUL butterflies. We are expecting Painted Lady Butterflies. We have our butterfly houses all ready for them!
