Every day, we had the great opportunity to ask questions, have conversations, and physically see what we read about in our books. Because of your kindness and generosity in donating to my class, students were engaged and excited to come to school each day to see and learn about topics they find interesting.\r\n\r\nWatching the caterpillars grow and change was an amazing experience for my students. It allowed them to make real-life connections to what they were learning and gave them a chance to observe science happening right before their eyes. The excitement they showed each day as they checked on their caterpillars and shared their observations was truly special. \r\n\r\nThe butterfly release in our school garden was a memory that students will hold on to for a long time to come. Many students were lucky enough to have butterflies land on them before taking off on their adventure. The joy on their faces was something I will never forget. Even now, students still talk about this special memory and the experience they shared together.
