This week on TK island the little fishies were so excited that finally, the chrysalis turned into beautiful butterflies. We named them Salina, Marshmallow, Leila, Kennyboy, and TK. THen, we watched them fly away and we all said goodbye. Also, more excitedly the little fishies began to prepare for Mother’s Day to show their appreciation and how much they love their mothers!
