The Robin Hill School first-graders learn about butterflies in this springtime Ready-to-Read!
When a package arrives on Mrs. Connors desk, everyone is eager to find out whats in it. Mrs. Connor hints that its something that changes from one thing to another. The children soon discover that its not a monster or a superhero, but a jar with five caterpillars. The class is going to learn about the life cycle of butterflies! They patiently watch as the caterpillars eat and eat and grow and grow, become chrysalises, and then emerge as beautiful butterflies. And all the children agree that butterflies are even better than a superhero.
