The Life Cycle Of A Butterfly.


Annabel has been learning about the animals in her kindergarten class, and she has been checking animal books out of the school library at her weekly library visit.

She now regularly whips out Animal fun facts that surprise me.

The Onza is a long legged panther for one example, and the Coyotes that live around here are nocturnal for another.

A few weeks ago, I came up for breakfast and saw this sitting on her drawing table. Kristin pointed it out to me. Apparently Annabel had drawn it earlier in the morning. (She still gets up at about 6:30 no matter what). Kristin had asked her about it and she said:

"It's the lifecycle of the Butterfly. That's the egg, that's the caterpillar, that's the cocoon, that's the butterfly coming out of the cocoon and that's the grown-up butterfly."

"Wow!" said Kristin. "And what about these guys?" pointing to the butterflies up in the corner and the one under her very fancy signature.

"Those are her friends." Annabel said.
