Students did not get to see the egg stage of course but they understood the caterpillars hatched from eggs before they were mailed to us. Students will never forget the concept of a life cycle and particularly the life cycle of a caterpillar because they witnessed it first hand. Thanks to your donation, there will be enough caterpillars for all four kindergarten classes plus two preschool classes and an ESL classroom to be able to watch and experience the caterpillars slowly change to butterflies.","fullyFundedDate":1781713909474,"projectUrl":"project/we-love-life-cycles/10339624/","projectTitle":"We Love Life Cycles","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3843616_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1588681534477","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kindergartenstemengineers"},{"teacherId":5104784,"projectId":10248311,"letterContent":"This project made the final weeks of kindergarten meaningful, engaging, and full of joy.
