classroom visitor

IMG_3983.1I had a visitor my last day in the classroom! It fluttered around the classroom for awhile before settling down on the tent. I thought he might be one of the Kindergarten’s or Miss Sam’s butterflies they raised & then let go, but when I traded pictures with Miss Tsakalos it turns out to be slightly different. Was a beautiful temporary guest! CLICK the picture to see pictures up close!
