A LESSON IN PATIENCE

If, by chance, your child has mentioned there are caterpillars in our classroom, here they are. They are Black Swallow Tail caterpillars that I found in my garden eating the flat leaf parsley. In the classroom, the children have been able to watch them eat and crawl around.
 The caterpillars have finally entered their chrysalis state and will stay there until they change into butterflies and come out. Everyday, the children check on them, hoping to see the end result. Thus we have discussed what it means to have patience quite a lot this week. There is nothing any of us can do to make the butterflies come out sooner than when they are ready to. All we can do is be patient.
