Some Academy students recently met their Butterfly Buddies at Ardenwood Historical Farm. They all had a great time! After everyone got together with their buddies they were off to the exciting day that lay ahead of them.
First, the Butterfly Buddies were seated in a small cabin to watch a slide show about butterflies. They learned about migrating habits, life cycle, and how to tell the difference between male and female butterflies.
After that, the Butterfly Buddies took a stroll through the Historic Park. They unexpectedly found some butterflies flapping their wings on the ground. From the slideshow that they had watched they could tell that they were drying the water off of their wings. The first graders were very excited. Some of them even held the butterflies in their hands!
