The first place that we went to today was the butterfly farm. That is a very interesting and educational experience. We got a tour of this little place were we got to see a lot of different kinds of butterflies and caterpillars. There were some that were ranging from big, small, colorful, and literally clear. Our tour guide showed us how the butterflies were different and the caterpillars and all their different body parts. Plus they went though how they go from the egg to the butterfly. The whole experience is something that everyone will remember and even might use later in their own classes when they talk about animals.
The second place that we went to of the Coffee plantation. That was also a really fun and educational experience. One of the things that we learned is about the actual coffee bean and the coffee bean tree. A couple of the things that we learned was that the coffee bean tree takes 3 years before it starts to bear fruit and then it wont die for 40 years after that. The other thing is that the coffee bean is really a fruit. The processing to get it out also takes a lot of work even when it is from a machine. Everyone agreed that the coffee that we tasted was really good and you can order in on-line if anyone wants to decide to get some shipped to them at home.
