Help Us Spread Our Wings!

Help me give my students real live caterpillars to help them learn about lifecycles!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Winchester's classroom raised $192

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help my students have a hands-on experience with real live caterpillars! With this project each student will get their own caterpillar to watch transform into a butterfly.

Students come alive when their learning is real and transforming right before their own eyes!

They form a sense of ownership and pride as they care for their own butterfly before releasing them into the wild.

My students will learn about the lifecycle of a butterfly and expand that knowledge to learning about the lifecycle of many living creatures.

Help ignite my student's passion with this fun and exciting science lesson!
