The Butterfly Garden <nk>

Diya is a big fan of butterflies. She helps them if they are in odd spots, like chunks of mud.

The bus honks when her class gets to the garden. The class gets off the bus. Diya is still shy in class.

Diya starts to smile when she spots the butterflies. They make her want to skip and twirl.

Miss tells them butterfly facts. Miss is so smart. Diya puts her hand up to tell the class facts as well.

Butterflies have six, thin legs. They are an insect. It may look like they have two wings, but they have four.

Miss is glad that Diya wants to talk in class. The kids like what she has to say. They ask her for more.

As the butterflies dip and dart, Diya is not so shy. She tells Miss and her pals more.

She tells them that a butterfly starts as a caterpillar. The caterpillar makes a pod on a branch or plank. Then it starts to change.

Diya makes a friend. They see how many butterflies they can find by the pink flowers. They wish they could tell what the butterflies think.

The butterflies fly up in the sky. This kind are blue tigers.

Diya can tell the kids in her class so much. They ask her more and more.

What a fun class at the butterfly garden! Diya wants to go back.
