This week, we had so much fun learning about insects, particularly caterpillars and butterflies. We learned songs about the parts of the insects and the life cycle of a butterfly and learned how to identify insects. We also met our new classroom pets: 5 caterpillars! We will continue to watch them grow and change into painted lady butterflies over the next couple of weeks! Here are some picture highlights from our week in preschool:
