From Valley Pre-School “I Gotta Go, I Gotta Go…”

He Grows…

Gets ready to change…

Into a chrysalis…

Sixteen days later…

It’s a boy….

I Gotta Go, I Gotta Go…

I Gotta Go to Mexico!

We were fortunate to acquire a monarch caterpillar this year thanks to local photographer Beth Reis.  We watched it grow and change into a chrysalis. We guessed whether it'd be a boy or a girl...do YOU know how to tell?  We counted and waited SIXTEEN days to see it become a majestic monarch BOY butterfly!  On Friday, based on the book  Gotta Go! Gotta Go!  by Sam Swope, we released him to begin his journey to Mexico!  Ahhh...the incredible, miraculous wonder of nature!
