today i went on a field trip with the 1st graders to see monarch butterflies. they come to the area to mate every winter.

you can imagine that this fact made things fun
like when the park ranger mentioned something about mating, which confused the kids. i asked the teacher i work with, "so, are we learning about mating tommorow?"
or when two butterflies were kinda doing their thing on the ground and a six year old shouted, "look! two butterflies are fighting!"
