Spring visitors

We have company in our classroom.  Mrs. Schaefer invited 5 caterpillars to come stay with us while they grow.  We will watch them make their cocoons, and when they are finished changing, we will have butterflies in our Butterfly House.  The caterpillars are growing very quickly, each day Mrs. Lewis has drawn one on the calendar so we can keep track.  The weblike strings in the container are what the caterpillars make while they are growing - practice for the cocoon stage.
