Veronica Bradford struts into the center of the circle. She is important, she is the first, and she has something big to share. She takes a deep breath. "I have a shark tooth," the kindergartner proclaims, holding up a small plastic container. "And I got it from the dentist." In a rapidly changing world, there are few constants, few things that remain stripped to their simplicity. This is one. Show and tell. "Good Morning Children," reads the message board in Marilyn Krinsky's kindergarten classroom at Thomas Johnson Elementary School in Federal Hill.

When you are 5 years old and preparing to launch a butterfly from its makeshift habitat in your kindergarten, you have to rely on whatever tool is handy. While one classmate suggested a slingshot, Kayla Sherfey found a safer perch: her nose. In the garden outside Mechanicsville Elementary School on Friday, a brilliant orange-and-black monarch butterfly rested on Kayla's dainty nose. "You look different with a butterfly on your head," said a classmate. An unflinching Kayla smiled as the critter lingered briefly and then moved down her cheek.
