My Project

My eager students love to explore and discover our world. To encourage them to become hands-on learners please help us embark on this project to witness the magical transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly and seeds/seedlings growing and flourishing into beautiful flowers. By planting the seeds, the students will learn and observe the plant life cycle and how they develop into seedlings and mature into flowers. With the caterpillars, they will learn about some insects that help nurture the environment.

By providing a butterfly kit & planting supplies we will be able to guide our students through the entire life cycle of a butterfly, from the egg stage to the emergence of a beautiful winged creature as well as give them the opportunity to learn about plants and how they grow.

We believe that by engaging students in projects that relate to their everyday lives, we can spark their interest in learning and help them develop a love for knowledge. Through this project, our students will develop critical thinking skills and scientific inquiry, as well as an appreciation for the wonders of nature. I believe that this project will not only enhance our student's learning experience but will also provide a unique and engaging opportunity that will inspire them to explore the world around them.
