We began by collecting dandelions (butterflies love them!), then we went to the butterfly garden in front of the school and read the butterfly poem (a copy was sent home with each child). We discussed that by sharing our wishes with butterflies, they are able to take them to heaven and tell God.
As you can see in some of the pictures and the videos, butterflies use a straw like thing to eat. When we went back inside, we decided to research what this is called and we discovered that it is called the "proboscis".
