three students viewing butterfly reliease

Over the last few weeks, the students in Ms. Churchill’s class at Transfiguration School learned about the lifecycle of butterflies.

The students observed the caterpillars daily as each transformed into a chrysalis and finally emerged as a butterfly. The students raised the  caterpillars by feeding them daily. They observed metamorphosis, and released the  butterflies into nature.

Some even landed on our hands to say goodbye!
