Our Swallowtail emerged after 2 weeks in the chrysalis. The boys were so happy to it and it was truly a very beautiful butterfly. We took a few minutes to sketch it in our Nature Notebooks and then it was time to let it go. They are so good about wanting to "free" any creatures we have.
What more can I offer but a brief glance into our life of homeschooling? Maybe a funny story, a neat idea, or an adventure we've had...maybe just enough to reach from my heart to yours...
