The second graders in Mrs. Brenda's class have been studying caterpillars this 9 weeks.   They enjoyed watching their

caterpillars go into different stages and finally emerging into beautiful Painted Lady butterflies.  On Thursday, September

23, the class wore their hand-made butterfly t-shirts outside and held the butterflies, said goodbye, and released

them to freedom.   The students were so excited as they watched the butterflies head off to a new home.
