We enjoyed seeing the butterflies and praying mantis hatch.\r\n\r\nBeing able to watch the life cycle in real life is such a benefit to students. They each were able to set up their own butterfly cup and watch its progress. Then when all the butterfly's had hatched we released them. Watching them fly away was very exciting.\r\n\r\nMany of the kids had never seen a praying mantis up close. This was a fun experience for them. They weren't, however, very patient waiting for them to hatch. \r\n\r\nThis is a project I have been doing for the past few years and it is by far my favorite.\r\nThanks again for your support. I appreciate you making education a priority.","fullyFundedDate":1741318606161,"projectUrl":"project/life-cycles-come-alive/9058437/","projectTitle":"Life Cycles Come Alive","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5266213_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1522939720742","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/k-johnson33"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45602","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":644,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":41.1,"schoolId":45602,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fort White Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fort White Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/columbia-county-school-district/ft-white-elementary-school/45602"}
