They hatched eggs into caterpillars of Painted Lady butterflies. The caterpillars lived in the classroom and did their cocooning. This week they released them to fly and be free!

We are not really in the Grand Tetons.

The slowest lines are those with ice cream sandwiches at the end.

We spent a lot of time at the Harry Potter scribble wall creating and coloring.

Certainly was duck weather today.
