Your generosity is making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students, and we are truly grateful for your investment in their learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, our classroom will have the exciting opportunity to observe butterflies up close as they grow and transform through each stage of their life cycle. Rather than simply reading about metamorphosis in a textbook, students will engage in hands-on learning that brings science to life. They will watch caterpillars grow, form chrysalises, and emerge as beautiful butterflies right before their eyes.\r\n\r\nHands-on experiences like this help students develop a deeper understanding of scientific concepts. By observing, questioning, recording data, and discussing their discoveries, students become active participants in the learning process. These real-world experiences spark curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and help children make lasting connections to the content they are studying.\r\n\r\nThe excitement of having butterflies in the classroom is already building. Students are eager to care for them, track their changes, and share their observations with classmates and families. This project will create memorable learning moments that inspire wonder and foster a love of science and nature.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us provide an engaging and enriching educational experience. Your kindness is giving our students the chance to learn through discovery, observation, and exploration. We appreciate your support and are excited to share this incredible journey with our young scientists.","fullyFundedDate":1777910932540,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-butterflies/9967384/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Butterflies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Davi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9317878_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758056994370","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-davi"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_936","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":300,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":36,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"7.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":43.0,"schoolId":936,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 201 Discovery School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 201 Discovery School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-201-kissena/936"}
