My Project

By supplying my students with the materials to touch, see, feel, and smell the astonishing, metamorphosing lifecycles of both the ladybug and the butterfly, you will be giving my students an amazing first hand experience that they otherwise would not have the opportunity of experiencing. We are requesting Insect 4 Piece Playset Bundle, 70 pc Tubes - Construction Building Stem/Steam Toy, Painted Lady Butterfly Kit, Live Ladybug Growing Kit Toy, Butterfly, Flower, and Ladybug Pinwheels Craft Kit and more. We would also like the opportunity to learn about a plants lifecycle by growing our own plants and taking care of them. By helping to give my students this first hand experience you will also be helping them to learn about responsibility and accountability along with how lifecycles work.

Grades 9-12
