This morning, Mimi and her daddy graciously brought in new visitors into our room! They brought in caterpillars, which for many children can seem creepy and crawly. Yet these little insects go through a truly remarkable transformation and become some of the most beautiful creatures in the insect kingdom. Mimi's family thought the Owls would appreciate being able to witness this transformation, so they brought their friends into the class! Along with the insects, they brought in a caterpillar pavilion and lots of food for the little guys to eat. In order to take care of them, we transferred the caterpillars (which originally came in a container that housed all of them) into individual cups filled with food so they can have space and provisions to form their chrysalises. Thank you Mimi, Jenny and Tony!

Penny's family also brought in special treats for our class! To help with the garden growing study, Penny's family brought in seeds. But what will the seeds be put into? They thought of that as well! Yogurt was donated, and after the contents were consumed, Owls washed out the cups so that we can use them as seed sprouting containers. Thank you Penny, Lasha, and Brent!
