L is for Leaf and B is for butterfly

Rewind back to March of this year. We had a great run with My Father's World Kindergarten curriculum from January through February. We learned about Creation week, went through our entire alphabet in lowercase, learned s is for sun, m is for moon, and then L is for leaf. Only problem was, there were no leaves on the trees the first week of March. So, after I spent thirty seconds explaining the leaves would be back soon, and that grass was a leaf....my 5 year old took matters into his own hands. He remembered the butterfly garden that came with the curriculum, and he decided it was time we talked about his favorite subject: bugs. We ordered our caterpillars, and we enjoyed the beautiful spring weather while we searched for God's smallest creatures. 
I don't think my kids will ever forget the butterfly experience we had. It was just amazing.
