There are 12 butterflies in the cage. They are leaking the red liquid right now. There are 4 chrysalises in the cage right now. The butterflies are hanging upside down in the cage. One more came out of the chrysalis. The butterflies are Painted Lady Butterflies. There are five butterflies on the bottom of the cage. I think that the butterflies are cute in my opinion. The butterflies are trying to fly inside the cage. The butterflies have little red and white spots.

Eleven of the chrysalises turn into butterflies and there are five chrysalises that have not turned into butterflies. We are raising painted ladies. I think that butterflies look like moths. Did you know that butterflies need the sun to fly? Our butterflies are in a cage so they don’t fly away. Did you know that a butterfly is like a life cycle? My favorite butterfly is the painted lady because it is very colorful. The best thing about butterflies is that they are so colorful.

In the butterfly cage there are twelve butterflies and there are three chrysalises. I feel good about having butterflies in our classroom because they are cool. They go through four stages which are the egg stage, the larva stage, the chrysalis, then the adult stage. The kind of butterflies we have are called Painted Lady butterflies. It pump liquid out of his wings. I think the butterflies look awesome. I hope we can do another project like this one again.

In the butterfly cage there are twelve butterflies and there are three chrysalises. I really feel good about having butterflies in our classroom. The reason I feel really good about having butterflies in our classroom is because I love butterflies so much. The reason I love butterflies so much because they are so pretty and because I just love pretty things. I hope when we take the butterflies out I hope the butterfly that I let go will never go away from where I let it go at. The reason I want it to stay there because I love all nature animals. The life cycle for butterflies is egg, larva, pupa, and then adult. That is the whole life cycle fro butterflies. The kind of butterflies that we are having is painted lady butterflies. I think that the painted lady butterflies will be so pretty. Mrs. Cook I hope that we can do something similar to this.

The chrysalis turned into butterflies. There are 11 in our cage and 4 are chrysalis. I think that they turned into butterflies too fast to be seen. I wonder if Ms . Cook is going to let them go free! This is their last part of their life cycle. I like having butterflies in our class room .

We have exactly 13 butterflies. Our butterflies are already pumping red liquid into their wings. We have 2 chrysalises. The butterfly larva was the cool to watch. I like the butterflies personally because there fun to watch and inspiring to me. My favorite insect is the butterfly. The butterflies can’t fly because there in the classroom and they need sunlight to fly.

In the butter fly cage there was 4 panted lady butterflies. Today there are 12 panted lady butterflies. The painted lady butterflies our funny some times. The painted lady butterflies just sit and stay still. They flap their wings to make them dry. They also climb the wall most of the time. They also fly some times.

The butterflies in our class are doing really well. They have been getting closer to the adult form. They have started putting the liquid in their wings. They are painted lady butterflies. I think they are beautiful. I am on how are they are going to fly. Like birds or some other kind of animal that flies. I think that it will fly like a bird. I know they will end up with some pretty colors on their bodies. I know that they have eggs. There are a lot of different kinds of butterflies around the world. I know that the adult form of a butterfly is a part of the life cycle.

Guess what a bunch of the butterflies emerged from the chrysalis. It is so cool they are all flying around the place. Some of them are still chrysalis. The ones that are hatched are drying their wings and warming up. Only a couple of them are chrysalis. I feel amazed on how the butterflies hatched. I hope we can do this again. Here is the butterfly life cycle 1 egg a female butterfly leaves an egg on a leaf. 2 larvas it hatches from the egg and it crawls on a branch and explores. 3 chrysalises it makes a web so it fall when it comes out. 4 butterflies when it emerges from the chrysalis it warms up and pump blood into the wings. They have a red liquid to pump in their wings.

We had butterflies in our classroom. Today we have ten butterflies in our classroom. I feel great about having butterflies. We have Painted Ladies. Our butterflies are in a cage so they don’t fly away. Red stuff comes out of their body. People think its blood but it is not. It is juice that makes them fly well. They need the sun to fly. They don’t move much at all. I think the butterflies look like moths because of the wings. My favorite butterfly is the owl butterfly because it scares people away.

Three butterflies have red liquid. There are eleven butterflies that came out of its chrysalis. I think there are twenty butterflies when they all come out. I think the butterflies are wonderful. Almost all of the butterflies are on the ground. Some of the butterflies are still on the lid. We are going to get little branches to put in the butterfly cage. I think there are nine or ten butterflies left. One just came out so I think there are twelve butterflies now. The larva turned into chrysalis last week. We did not get to see them when they hatched. We got the butterflies when they were larva. Then a week later they turned into a chrysalis. Then a week later almost all of them turned into butterflies. I wanted to see them when they hatched. That was the first time I ever saw a caterpillar it was also the first time I ever saw a butterfly. I never saw a chrysalis. Most of the butterflies climb the wall.

There is 12 butterflies and 3 chrysalis I feel happy to see a real butterfly go through the four stages of life. It’s been fun watching them go through the larva stage, pupa stage, chrysalis and finally the adult stage. I can’t wait to see them fly away in to the beautiful sunset.

We have 11 butterflies and 6 chrysalises. The butterflies are already pumping the red liquid. When Mrs. Cook left the room there was one butterfly coming out of its chrysalis. So now there are 5 chrysalises and 12 butterflies. Some butterflies are flapping their wings. Some are still pumping red liquid. Mrs. Cook wanted to put water for the butterflies. When Mrs. Cook opened the butterfly cage there was 1 butterfly that wanted to fly. Mrs. Cook but sugar water for the butterflies. There are some butterflies spreading their wings. The butterflies can’t fly because the class room needs more sun light for the butterflies so they can fly. Now there are only 2 chrysalises and now there are 13 butterflies.

We have ten butterflies right now. The butterflies are letting the red juice out already. The red juice looks a little like blood. Then we have five chrysalises that have not turned into butterflies yet. I think it is awesome that we have butterfly larva in our classroom. They are cool looking butterflies. They kind of look like owl butterflies. They are brown with some white spots. There are four stages of the butterfly life. They are the egg, the caterpillar, the pupa and then the adult. I’m glad we got butterfly larva in our class. They are so cool.

We have butterflies that are out of there cocoon there are 13 butterflies are in the cage. 5 of them are still in the cocoon. The red liquid looks like blood but is not blood it is. The butterflies are painted lady butterflies in our class room. I think it is cool that we have the butterflies in the room.

There are eleven butterflies in the butterfly cage. There are four chrysalises. In the butterfly cage the Painted Lady Butterflies are emerging from their chrysalis and pumping the liquid into their wings. Some of the liquid is coming out of the butterfly’s wings because they have extra liquid in their wings. Mrs. Cook saved a butterfly that was in the drink bole. I just saw a butterfly come out of its chrysalis. I love the butterflies because they are the prettiest bugs in the world. I hope that the butterflies will live on when we let them go home. I think the butterflies are excited for their return to their home outside of the cage. I think that the butterflies will have a wonderful life without people starring at them all of the time. I like the butterfly life cycle, because it goes through four stages the egg, caterpillar, larva and butterfly. The colors that were on the butterflies wings are so pretty that I want to keep them forever and ever.

Lidia said...

There were 12 butterflies. Four are still chrysalis. They are pumping there red liquid. Butterflies can just fly in the sun. Right now they can’t fly because there not in the sun. I hope we this again. It was fun.

Giancarlo said...

There are 11 butterflies in the cage for the butterflies. The butterflies are really cool they drank all the water. There are 3 chrysalises. I like the butterflies they are so cool. I hope we get more for the class room. It is really nice to have some butterflies to keep in our class room. The butterflies put some liquid on them to make them fly. With the butterflies they can have fun in the cage whith the other butterflies they are really cool.
