Animal Life Cycle Fun!

Help me give my students fun and hands on animal life cycle experiments.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Waldbaum's classroom raised $172

This project is fully funded

My Project

Spring is coming and we're going to start seeing some butterflies and lady bugs.

We're learning about animal life cycles soon and want to do some hands on fun!

We're going to learn about the butterfly life cycle. What better way to do that than to grow our own beautiful butterflies! We're also going to jump into the lady bug life cycle too! This will be cool to have a lady bug garden in our classroom. Our students will love items like the life cycle figurines, growing kits, science books to use with various hands on learning activities and as object manipulatives to assist in understanding the lesson.
