Metamorphosis

Our class was so lucky!  Ms. Brehm (our art teacher) found this beautiful, golden colored chrysalis and brought it to us.  We had no idea just what would emerge from it, if anything, but we observed it carefully and we were ecstatic when a rare butterfly (according to our research) broke free.  On Friday afternoon we all went outside and released it to its natural habitat.  It was such an incredible thing to watch and listen to the Kinders as they witnessed this butterfly take flight.  (Of course our film cut out right before this happened!)  Their wonder and excitement is so pure and beautiful and it gives me goose bumps on a daily basis.
