It was an exciting day in kindergarten today (Tuesday the 29th)! Mr. Jack Little came and talked to us about the Monarch butterflies (He is the man who donated the caterpillars to us). He showed us how he tags the Monarchs and releases them. He raises them in his greenhouse. He tagged some of the butterflies from the kindergarten classes and answered some of our questions. We used the Elmo and we could see him put on the little tags...that looked like little stickers, on the wings of the butterflies. He kept track of the numbers on the tags, if it was a boy or a girl and also our release location. Locals in Mexico collect the tags and are paid 5 pecos per tag. We can't wait to see if any of our butterflies make it to Mexico!Keep your fingers crossed! Thank you Mr. Little!
