We are learning all about caterpillars this week and next. On Thursday, Madalyn received a box in the mail and it contained three snakes caterpillars. She really enjoys observing the caterpillars and it has provided many opportunities to expand her language skills and observation skills. We are going to watch and observe them as they form their chrysalis and then transform and emerge as butterflies; you can watch the progress here.
