Help me give my students a hands on opportunity to observe caterpillars transform into butterflies!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sullo's classroom raised $168

My Project

I want to give my third graders the same core memory I have from third grade! I remember being so excited when we grew our very own butterflies, now I want my students to be able to experience that excitement!

My class loves science and is just starting to learn about life cycles and I just know my students would love this hands on experience in learning about the butterfly life cycle.

I want to use the butterfly figures to introduce them to the cycle of life for a butterfly, then I want them to experience it through the butterfly kits. I want each student to have their own butterfly and be able to experience the magic of its life cycle.
