Butterfly's Metamorphosis

Butterfly's Metamorphosis
Recently, I and Fritz had a little project of simple science. Starting from one of my best role in homeschooling, Sis Ratna, she showed me how she adores these insects so much. I was also falling in love seeing these beautiful creatures. Then I decided to learn together with Fritz knowing more about its metamorphosis.

We learnt how to see a caterpillar to be a chrysalis or cocoon then being a beautiful butterfly. Firstly, we had a little difficulty to find the caterpillar. It's hard to find it everywhere because of my lack skill about it. LOL. 

Then, Sis Ratna gave me 2 pretty caterpillars. I bought these to Alpha, my work field. Some of students were so enthusiast with them though some were a bit scared. They wanted to see how they ate the leaves. I was so unlucky that I couldn't see those being butterflies. Both of them were died few days after they were being chrysalis. I failed!

I was still curious. Then, I asked Fritz to have a walk in the afternoon. I also brought a cage for it. After few times we tried, finally we found a caterpillar. Here's my first one. We're so enthusiast that we saw the stages till it's being a pretty butterfly.


Then my private students suddenly gave me this caterpillar and a gold chrysalis. I kept the chrysalis and I asked him to take care the caterpillar. Here's my second butterfly. Great one!


And the last one, I found lots of caterpillars around of a palm tree in my work fields. It's really lots of! More than 15 caterpillars and chrysalis I had. One by one being a butterfly in every single day. So happy seeing them flying to the new world. 


It's really a process of our homeschooling. Learning from everything! :D

I put the project at Project Noah.

Online Book Store

Online Book Store

After waiting for almost 3 weeks, finally my book was coming safely. Yay!

Actually, I have a small plan for buying books every month from here but then I found some online bookstore which was great too. I also put my interest in Charlotte Mason curriculum based on reading books. 

The list of the books are taken from Ambleside Online to see the lists of the books

Online Book Store:
1. Book Depository - new books
2. Better World Books - used books
3. Thrift Books - used books
