This donation will allow each child to experience, first hand, the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. It will also give them the skills needed to take care of a living thing. The kids have been so excited to learn about the lifecycle of a butterfly and this was supposed to be the culminating experience of the year for us in school. Since we are not at school, your donation will allow students to have this experience at home while they are quarantined. Many students hardly leave their apartments while New York City is quarantining, so this would be bringing a really magical experience into their homes and provide a joyful final memory to their turbulent Kindergarten year. Giving each child a caterpillar kit will bring to life everything we've learned in our butterfly unit, and give them a meaningful and memorable real-world experience. Some students have never seen an actual live butterfly--so this will be an especially exciting and impactful experience for them!
