My Project

My students are curious learners and some of them enjoy asking a lot of questions. They especially love to learn about Science and I've explained to them that some of the things that scientists do are to make observations, take notes, and ask questions.

These wonderful books will help them learn about butterflies and answer the many questions they have about these magnificent creatures.

The butterfly kit will enhance their learning and give them first hand experience in seeing how butterflies begin as a caterpillar, turn into a chrysalis, and finally transform into a beautiful butterfly.
