Pre-K students at Graham examine life cycle fo butterflies

The Pre-K students at Graham School have been studying scientific processes in nature by examining the life cycle of a butterfly. The class received 10 caterpillars and documented the transformation, observing how the caterpillars formed a chrysalis around themselves. Then during spring recess, they came out of the chrysalises. Students were able to see the beautiful butterflies the caterpillars became when they returned to school. On Monday, Mrs. Christine Iaffaldano, Ms. Caifa Clark, and Mrs. Karen Manna, along with principal Dr. Natasha Hunter-McGregor, released the butterflies with the help and encouragement from our pre-K scholars. What an awesome learning experience!

The Pre-K students at Graham School have been studying the life cycle of a butterfly. We received 10 caterpillars and documented the transformation. We observed how the caterpillars formed  the chrysalis around themselves and then during our Spring Break they came out and we saw the beautiful butterflies they've become when we returned to school. Today Mrs. Iaffaldano, Ms. Clark, and Mrs. Manna, along with principal Dr. Hunter-McGregor,  released the butterflies with the help and encouragement from our prek scholars. What an awesome learning experience!
