My students have been using the materials daily during our science block, carefully observing the stages of metamorphosis and documenting what they see in their science journals. One of my favorite moments so far was when a group of students crowded around the butterfly enclosure completely silent watching a chrysalis begin to tremble, amazed that they were witnessing transformation in real time.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their reactions ranged from joyful squeals to thoughtful questions: \"Will we really get to take care of them?\" \"How long until they hatch?\" Many had never seen a caterpillar up close before, and the hands-on experience immediately made them more engaged and connected to our life-science standards. These resources turned what could have been an abstract lesson into something living, tangible, and unforgettable.\r\n\r\nAs we continue this unit, students are now preparing to create their own illustrated life-cycle books and observation charts. The next steps include releasing our butterflies into the school garden and discussing how insects contribute to ecosystems. Because of you, my students aren't just learning science they're experiencing it. Thank you for giving them this opportunity to wonder, explore, and care for living things.","fullyFundedDate":1758202738038,"projectUrl":"project/watch-us-build-grow-and-explore-scienc/9693741/","projectTitle":"Watch Us Build, Grow, and Explore Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alexis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9296721_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726026277800","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9296721"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_24794","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":96,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":67,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - Pre-K","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":42.3,"schoolId":24794,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about 97th Street Early Education Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"97th Street Early Education Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/97th-street-early-education-center/24794"}
