From Caterpillar to BUTTERFLY

Today a caterpillar came to school in a jar. Itis eating green leaves. It is climbing and wiggling. This tiny caterpillar is going to change. It willchange into a beautiful butterfly.

Caterpillars usually turn into butterflies outdoors. They live in gardens and meadows and yards. But we wilwatch our caterpillar change into a butterfly right herein our classroom. This change is called metamorphosis.

Our caterpillar started out asa tiny egg. The mother butterflylaid the egg on a leaf.

When the caterpillar hatched out of the egg, it was hungry. It ate its way out of its own eggshel! ! Then it started to eat green plants right away. A caterpillar's job is to eat and eat and eat, so it will grow and grow and grow.

Each day when we come into school, we lookat our caterpillar. Each day it is bigger.
