Preschoolers explored first hand the life cycle of Monarch butterflies as they carefully monitored their progress from cocoon to adult butterfly. Over a six week period students were able to see six butterflies emerge from their cocoons. Pictured around the table checking out this colorful Monarch are (left to right) Madison Shisler, Parker Brennan, Rueger Orr, Kacey Schonauer, and Shanoah Shultz.

Parker isn't quite sure what this Monarch has in mind but Miss Manley, preschool teacher, assured him that the butterfly is one of God's special creatures.
