Winter Fun!!

Snowflakes fall and cover the ground in a thick cold blanket of white. Adults shutter and think of the shoveling that lays ahead.

Children rejoice, pull on their warmest winter gear, grab their plastic sleds and head for the nearest hill.

Their hearts race with excitement as they ascend to the top. They carefully adjust the sled to get it in the perfect position.

They jump in for the thrill of the ride.

The cold air hits their red cheeks and snow flies up into their faces, who could ask for more. They giggle as they crash into the snowbanks, and enjoy the chill of a whitewash.

When the sledding is done, we return to our warm homes and enjoy a night by the fire with some hot chocolate.

Metamorphasis

Look at this beautiful Monarch Butterfly. Collin and I went on a bug hunt looking for the perfect Monarch Caterpillar to watch it mold into a butterfly. Unfortunately, they are doing construction around his house so we did not find one. One of my students found one in out school yard so, having already watched the process with our students a few times this summer, I took this guy home to Collin.
It was fun to watch and discuss along the way. Collin is full of questions. Why does he eat milk weed? Why is he climbing to the top? Why does he look like the letter J? What is he doing now?
After a night with friends, I am ever so happy when Collin jumps on me EARLY in the morning to say 'Come up stairs Fatty (our clever name for the caterpillar)turned into a butterfly'!!
"I am so excited! I waited 2 weeks for this".
"Yes I am the proud owner of this beautiful caterpillar, oh I mean butterfly".
"I will be very careful to let him go so he can fly free in my backyard".
We spent many minutes watching the butterfly become accustomed to the world around him. Collin fought every urge he had to touch the colorful wings. We were a little worried for our little friend especially when daddy mowed the lawn, but it was a fun adventure to hatch a butterfly!
