Elementary (PK-4)
First Grade Butterfly Project
June 03, 2008
The First Graders hatched butterflies during the last few weeks
of school.
10 Painted Lady Caterpillars were ordered and the class was able to
see them
grow for about a week. Their food was already with them in the
jars, so we
didn’t have to feed them at all! After about a week, they started
to spin
their chrysalis and the caterpillars were in that for about a week
and a
half. All 10 of the butterflies hatched which was a great success
rate! We
fed the butterflies oranges and sugar water because they like sweet
foods.
The class let the butterflies go at the park so they could live
outside of
their netted garden for awhile.
