"If you smile when you see a butterfly, you have happiness in your soul"

The Grade 2's have been busy working on our Butterfly projects the past few weeks. We have watched and learnt about the process of how a butterfly comes from a chrysalis and also done more research on Butterflies to fully understand them. We have researched their habitats, their life cycles, what they need to eat/drink, fun facts and more! The Grade 2's have enjoyed learning and appreciating Butterflies this term.

QUOTES: 

• I enjoyed the day were we got to hold the butterfly. I enjoyed it because it was probably the closest I have gotten to some butterflies. It has been fun researching facts about butterflies and colouring our projects. - Grace 2B
• It was surprising when I heard some of the facts about Monarch Butterflies. It was really fun to decorate our butterflies on our projects. I liked how we got three chrysalises and we watched all of them hatch. Each of the butterflies hatched in the different classes. It was cool to see them fly away when we let them go. - Musa 2B
• It was amazing to watch the butterflies hatch. It is fun to research about butterflies and learn new things. It was really special to feed the butterflies. We were able to feed them cordial from a sponge like it was a pretend flower. - Julianna 2B
• I enjoyed seeing the butterflies hatch. And making up and researching the facts about butterflies. - Willa 2C
• I loved the part when they hatched. I found it interesting how their wings spread out. - Xavier 2C
• I enjoyed watching the chrysalis hatch into a butterfly. I've enjoyed drawing and colouring in the butterfly for our project. - Stephen 2C
