Home Grown Butterflies
by Deborah Churchman


This week, we will be reading Home-Grown Butterflies. It’s a real story about people who raise butterflies in Costa Rica. In this one village, there were fewer and fewer fish to eat and sell for money. Soon they would have to cut down trees from the rain forest in order to farm the land. A scientist taught the school kids how to start a butterfly farm! They now sell the pupae, or eggs, to zoos. In conclusion, these kids are serious about protecting their environment!

We're learning about money, honey!
