🦋 Our 1st graders had a magical experience releasing their butterflies last week! After learning about the butterfly life cycle and carefully observing their growth and transformation, students were so excited to watch their butterflies spread their wings and fly away. ✨This hands-on learning experience brought science to life and created special memories for our students. We are so excited about their curiosity, care, and excitement throughout the project! 💜
