Caterpillars moving in

We have monarch caterpillars in our class, because wasps are coming to Ms Werder's house and killing them.  Some of them are crawling on the ceiling and making chrysalis's there.  Some of the caterpillars have crawled all the way over the carpet to the reading box!  One accidentally sat on the mat, and then got sat on, on the mat.  Kennedy, Molly and Zania have been reading them stories.  We need to really look after them, because they keep on falling off the plant and wandering about.  They do a lot of poos, but their poos are only made out of leaves.  The chrysalis will turn black when the butterfly is ready to come out.  We have learned about life cycles, and that the caterpillars have 6 normal legs and 10 extra sucky ones.

We'll keep you updated on how they are going.  We have several chrysalis now in interesting places in the classroom, and we will be happy when we can release them.
