Becoming Butterflies

Help me give my students a hands-on experience with raising butterflies! They get so excited with hands-on science. I would love to bring this to the classroom!

My Students

My students are in a suburb of a booming city. They are high energy and love to learn. They are thirsty for knowledge. We have a very fluid classroom with a lot of opportunities to move around. Sometimes it is necessary to stay in one spot to learn.

We are having a wonderful time learning together and from one another!

Play is a vital part of learning for young children. I would love to add education resources that allow the children to play and explore while they are learning.

My Project

I would like to have the caterpillars to give the students a true hands-on experience. The students would watch and help take care of the caterpillars from day one. Each group of students would have their own butterfly enclosure.

They will be able to observe how the caterpillars change over time.

We will be able to release the butterflies in the school garden. Students will be able to tend to their butterflies and see them when we visit the garden.

These materials are necessary to enhance our students' hands-on experience in science. It is the perfect project to welcome spring!
