Our First Butterfly Release

Thursday afternoon, 7-A's first butterfly emerged from its chrysalis!

We realized it was a boy because of the two black spots on the bottom section of his wings.  7-A named him "C.S." for Calvert School.  In the afternoon the entire 7th Age walked over to Molly's Garden to release C.S.  We read the story Gotta Go, Gotta Go,

which is about a caterpillar who knows from the day she was born that she has to go to Mexico.  C.S. took off on this same journey today.  It's close to 2,500 miles, over 2 months, to the mountains of Mexico where he will spend the winter.

Here are a few pictures of the release:
