Butterflies have an interesting life story! Butterflies have four life stages.
First, a female butterfly lays eggs. Five days later, an insect comes out of the egg. This insect is called a caterpillar.
Second, the caterpillar grows a lot. The caterpillar is born hungry. It eats flowers and leaves all day long! The caterpillar grows quickly. It grows quickly that it becomes too big for its skin. So it sheds its skin and grows more. It sheds its skin four or more times!
The third stage is when the caterpillar changes into a butterfly. It does this inside a kind of shell that covers its whole body.
At stage four, a beautiful butterfly comes out of the shell! Then the butterfly flies away. Soon the cycle will start all over again.

Lisa’s Bluebirds
A nest of bluebirds is in a tree. Lisa can see them from her
bedroom window?
On March 21, she sees two grown birds and five little birds in
the nest. Lisa draws a few pictures of them.
On April 15, Lisa calls her mom to come and see. “You won’t
believe this!” Lisa says. “The little birds are trying to fly!” They
don’t fly very well yet. They flap their wings a lot.
In upcoming weeks, the little birds grow. By May 30, they aren’t
so little anymore. They fly all of the time. Lisa likes to hear them
sing. “When will they leave the nest?” she asks.
In the fall the bluebirds fly away. Lisa feels sad. She talks to the
clerk at the pet shop. “I haven’t seen the birds all week,” she says.
“The birds went far away to be warm,” the clerk tells her.
“They’ll fly back after the snow melts.”
The snow melts. It is spring again. The nest is not empty now.
