My Project

We are two classes of first graders that are very curious about the world around us! We absolutely love to learn and we have been studying life cycles of plants. We will soon move on to learn about animals and insects! We are so very excited about this awesome project that we are wanting to do.

We will pair up with another first grade class to learn all that we can about these animals!

We will then begin to incubate the eggs and watch the butterflies grow as well. We are looking forward with much anticipation to our hands on learning project!

Thank you for all of your help with this amazing project! We appreciate your support as we venture into this awesome endeavor!
