that night he had a stomachache the next day was sunday again the caterpillar ate

through one nice green leaf and after that he felt much better now he wasn't

hungry anymore and he wasn't a little caterpillar anymore he was a big fat

Opera Song

it's music time hooray let's go see ms alexa and learn all

about opera hi i'm alexa and i love music

more than anything i like to sing and i like to sing a certain kind of music called

oprah so in opera it's kind of like a play but instead of

speaking to each other hi how are you we will sing to each other so we might

say hi

it's really fun and sometimes we sing really high

[Music] and sometimes we sing really low

sometimes we sing um loud

and sometimes we sing really soft [Music]

the most fun thing about opera is that you can make all kinds of sounds

and you can let your voice be sad or happy or

mad or in love or all kinds of things

now some things we do to help our voices get warmed up and ready to sing is that we make really funny sounds so we might

warm up our face we might warm up our lips

[Applause] try that one [Music] [Applause]

we might sing things like scales

or we might sing things that jump around la la la la la la

i wonder if you can find some time next time you're singing to experiment with your oprah

voice see you soon next song we're going to sing is about a tiny little bug called an ant

Caterpillar to Butterfly

caterpillar to butterfly by laura marsh oh here's a riddle

what starts as an egg then walks on many legs and then uses wings to fly

a butterfly beautiful butterflies butterflies are

fun to watch they fly with loops and dives some have bright colors some have

bold patterns too wow look at those beautiful butterflies

there are four stages in a butterfly's life stage one is an egg

stage two is a caterpillar stage three is a chrysalis

stage four is a butterfly stage one egg

a mother butterfly lays many eggs on a leaf or branch each egg is close to food caterpillar

food that is stage two caterpillar the tiny

caterpillar bites a hole in the egg it crawls out the caterpillar is very

hungry the caterpillar eats its shell then it eats the leaf it's on the caterpillar

moves to another leaf it eats that too the caterpillar grows and grows it gets

too big for its skin it sheds its old skin like a snake

the new skin fits for a while but then the caterpillar is too big for that skin too

caterpillars shed their skin four or five times stage three chrysalis

by now the caterpillar is ready to rest it hangs upside down it sheds its skin

one more time the new layer is called a chrysalis it is a hard shell inside the caterpillar

is changing it stays in the chrysalis for 10 to 14 days

stage four butterfly the chrysalis moves it splits open the

butterfly wiggles out its wings are wet and crumpled

blood pumps into the butterfly's wings they get bigger and harden the wings dry

now the butterfly is ready to fly have a good trip butterfly

time for lunch a butterfly doesn't eat plants like a caterpillar it has no mouth

a butterfly drinks nectar from flowers it drinks juice from fruit

a tube on its head works like a straw slurp wow look at these close-up pictures and

see if you can guess what they are picture one

hint a caterpillar starts here what do you think it is yeah

it's an egg picture too hint big changes happen inside

yeah it's a chrysalis three hint it's an all-day eater

yeah it's that hungry caterpillar four

hint this is covered with scales it's butterfly wings wow they have

little scales five it uses this to hide from predators

that's called camouflage six

Coffee Filter Butterflies

wait to make coffee filter butterflies with you it's going to be so much fun

okay all you need for this are two coffee filters some water

markers and pipe cleaners let's get started okay so the first thing we need

to do is decorate two coffee filters all right

so that's start in the middle and you can do any designs you want work from the inside

out i think i'll do a wavy line next

wavy line [Music]

then you can spray it with water or you can fold it fold it again

fold it again into a triangle shape and do something kind of magic with it

i'll show you so you get a little thing of water and then you put just the tip in the

water and you wait for the water to climb up up up the coffee filter to the top

it takes a lot of patience to just wait for this water to come to the top

[Music] wow i waited the whole time

i'm so proud of myself now it's time for the magic we're gonna open it and see how beautiful it is

okay let's open the coffee filter oh it looks really really cool i love it

i used to do this all the time when i was a little girl oh wow that looks so pretty doesn't it

and then we let it dry has to dry for quite a while because we want it to be really nice and dry to

make the wings so you're gonna do that two times one two my hands are all dirty that's okay

though i don't mind because i can go wash them okay the wings are dry and they look so

nice now we're going to fold them like a fan so you fold it and turn it over

fold it holding it like a fan

straw wrapper can kind of look like a caterpillar it's a magic trick the first thing you do is you scrunch up the paper

so i'm just gonna tap it like this and scrunch up the paper scrunch it up

scrunching the paper oh get it so scrunched up so it's like a little

caterpillar scrunched up so tight then i slide it off

sliding it off oh there we go

okay now i'm going to dip the straw in some water so i dip it in and then i put my finger

and close this so i can get little drops of water to make this caterpillar but it's really a straw

wrapper move okay so we get one little drop of water and now i put it on the paper

oh did you see it move whoa

did you see it move it's kind of like it's crawling or growing

let's try it again whoa it really moved that time

that is so neat

here's an activity in our book by laura marsh you can make your own butterfly garden

wow but first ask an adult for help this is how you can bring butterflies to

your backyard here's what you need plants that are local to your area

plants that bloom at different times orange purple yellow pink and red

flowers flowers that are clustered together flat top flowers a sunny spot for

butterflies to rest like a flat stone a wet or watery spot for butterflies to

drink no chemicals that would be fun to have butterflies in

your yard have you ever seen a butterfly in your yard or at the park
