We have been working on a butterfly unit study these past few weeks.  As part of the study, we are raising painted lady butterflies from InsectLore.com.  One emerged from its chrysalis today, which Peter noticed first and Christian is sad to see it fly away.  We also planted a butterfly garden, and today the boys wrote haiku poetry.   Here are their poems:

The Monarch Haiku

by Christian

Orange and black scales.

Breakable wings that flutter.

Beautiful Monarch.

Monarch

by Peter

Fragile butterfly,

Migrate home to Mexico.

Soar through air, Monarch!
