Butterflies

The cycle of the butterfly starts of with the egg. The egg then becomes a caterpillar, pupa (chrysalis) and then goes through metamorphosis, and become a butterfly. Butterflies areinsects with large wings, antennas, a head, chest and abdomen. The caterpillar mostly eatsleaves, but some are meat-eaters. Butterflies are everywhere, but are mostly in tropicalareas, such as the tropical rain forest. The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, Diana Fritillary, ZebraLongwing, and Monarch Butterfly are a few of the butterflies found here in the U.S.

The story I wrote for the kindergarteners is one where they would say certain during it. Forinstance, there is a part in my story where it says I was chewing my bubble gum, at that part thekids would all say, "Chomp chomp chomp." That way all the kids are helping in my story. Thename of my story is Hermy the caterpillar. Hope you like it. =)

One day I was sitting on the fence post chewing my bubble gum "chomp chomp chomp chomp', playing with my yoyo " woo woo". When along came hermy the caterpillar and he was this big!(Reader shows the pointer finger). So I said "Hermy what happened?', and he said,” I ate sixapples", and I said "OH". The next day I walk to Hermes house while chewing my bubble gum,"chomp chomp chomp chomp", and playing with my yoyo,” woo woo". Then out came Hermythe caterpillar and he was in a chrysalis! So I said, " Hermy what happened?” and he said, “I’mgoing through metamorphosis", and I said "OH". Them next day, I was sitting on the fence postchewing my bubble gum," chomp chomp chomp chomp", and playing with my yoyo," woowoo". When along came a beautiful butterfly, and I said," Hermy is that you?", and thebutterfly said, " yep, went through metamorphosis, a site you wouldn’t want to miss, and now I’m abutterfly!"
