Metamorphosis!

Metamorphosis, we know metamorphosis! Metamorphosis means that things can change!
Oh, the children are changing! We’ve been observing our tadpoles and mealworms metamorphose in front of our eyes! The children watched as a former mealworm came out of its pupal casing and became a beetle!
We have pipe cleaner caterpillars on our board that the children made… and somehow, the leaves got smaller and smaller! One day, when they walked in, they seemed to be in a chrysalis! How did it happen? As I like to tell the children, “With a little imagination, anything is possible!” Soon, the caterpillars will be gone, and “butterflies” will be “flying” around the room!
The birth of a new baby sister prompted discussions on how THEY used to be babies, wear diapers and spit up on their parents! Children brought in baby pictures to show how much they’ve changed.
I can’t help but look at the children and know that in what seems like a couple of blinks of an eye, they will be graduating from high school and college. Ah, metamorphosis!
