Our Butterflies are Free!

Our class watched caterpillars grow daily. We were fascinated as we were learning the life cycle of a butterfly. Our caterpillars eventually hung like a 'J' from the top of the jar, and then formed a chrysalis. We were fortunate to be able to watch several of the butterflies hatch. When we were letting them go, we couldn't find one. It was hanging on to Mrs. Stites' shirt. We learned that the process of changing from a caterpillar to a butterfly is called metamorphosis. What a fun learning experience!

Walk-a-thon

The children at Howard Elementary School raised money for the Parent-Teacher Organization by walking in a walk-a-thon. Each child sent out envelopes to family and friends, and collected sponsors for the walk. Our school raised almost $4,500.00. The money will be spent for the children next year. Each child received a free shirt that was paid for by sponsors. Afterwards the PTO provided the children with water and treat. A fun time was had by all!
