Families,

Here is a look at what is ahead! We also had an exciting day yesterday as our first caterpillar turned into a butterfly! Needless to say the kids were very amazed, excited, and distracted :). Today we came in and 2 more butterflies were in the net AND we got to watch one come out of it’s chrysalis!

I also want to give a quick shoutout to all of the mothers to our students. Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done for your child and enjoy your Mother’s Day!
