My students are learning about life cycles. They are also learning about how bees are dying off and the harmful impacts humans are having on the environment and organisms. To help our community and to learn more about science, we would love to receive the larvae of the Painted Lady Butterflies. We would then help them grow into a chrysalis and then when they hatch they would go into the butterfly enclosure! Once our observations are over we would take some of them to our school garden and release them. Knowing the life cycle is crucial to their required learning in science. To be able to see firsthand how a larva turns into a caterpillar and then a butterfly would be a first for the majority of them. Releasing the butterflies would give them a sense of civic engagement and start them down the path of being community and eventually globally-minded. If there are interested students, we will allow them to take them to their neighborhood and release them. This local species would help our various communities benefit from the added pollinators.
