There were so many “WOW!” moments as students discovered tiny details they had never noticed before. From insect wings to flower petals, curiosity and excitement filled the classroom!
Hands-on learning helps students ask questions, think critically, and develop a love for science one discovery at a time!

The wait was worth it for Mrs. Ward’s class!
After spending time observing butterfly larvae and watching them form chrysalises, students were excited to see their butterflies emerge. They had the opportunity to observe the final stage of the butterfly life cycle up close before releasing the butterflies into their natural environment.
This hands-on experience helped bring science to life and gave students a firsthand look at one of nature’s most amazing transformations.
It was a truly butterfly-tastic way to wrap up their learning!
