"It's A Chrysalis!"

 It has been an exciting day in the Pine room. Our little butterflies have made their way to the top of the cup to create their chrysalises! The kids were stoked. 

"Look look they are a cocoon!"

"No, it's a chrysalis!"
"A chrysalis?"

"Yeah! They are going to be butterflies!"
The kids gathered around the plastic cup to see the furry little creatures attach themselves to the lid. 

They continued to look at them and comment on what they were seeing. Some of the kids began drawing what the caterpillars looked like, but J decided he was going to create a chrysalis for our small plastic caterpillar.

"Ms. Jill! Look, I made a chrysalis!"

J had taken some time to mold the clay over the plastic bug to create the chrysalis! Such a great idea. That gave us an idea as we were still planning on going to the forest after meeting. 

With bags packed and bug catchers in hand we were off to the forest! 

"I can't find any bugs. They aren't anywhere. They tryna to live in the forest? They in the mud?"

Hmm.. where are the bugs? Where could they be?

"I think they are maybe in the trees and then they come in the summer."

"Yeah! They are up in space and then come down!"

There were many predictions as to where the bugs could be. Is it still too cold for bugs? Will they ever come back?
