Third graders had a firsthand experience learning about and caring for butterflies. During their studies, they raised their own caterpillars and observed them daily while learning about the different stages they go through. Once the caterpillars formed their chrysalis, they were transferred to a larger box while the students eagerly waited for them to go through their metamorphosis.

In addition, the students learned about pollination and how butterflies use their proboscis to drink nectar and transfer pollen from one flower to another. As a culmination to their studies, the students released the butterflies, which was a special and memorable day for all.
