Last week we read about The Very Hungry
Caterpillar and how he turned into a butterfly and flew away. This week we experienced the real thing: Miss White took my friends out into the courtyard and then released the butterflies they had raised from caterpillars. One by one they flew out of their butterfly cage and away. We didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
But we still had our other friends. For class today, we’d each brought in one of our favorite stuffed animals. It was fun. But before long, we’d exchanged them for something even better: wonderful musical instruments that Miss Paula had brought in — things such as an ocean drum, a shaker egg, a cabasa, a rock shaker, a maraca, even a Djembe drum. Oh yes, one more – a fish! Did you ever play a fish? Eleanor played a green one. (See photo on right.)
Kanaan and Jordy decided to color fish than to play them. But they didn’t release them into the ocean; unlike the butterflies who flew into the forest, the fish might not be so lucky...
