This picture is from a Butterfly Inquiry Project that my class and I completed over the course of 3 weeks. We raised caterpillars and watched them transform into cocoons and then into butterflies. We made tons of observations throughout each stage to document (draw) our caterpillars’, cocoons’, and butterflies’ growth. It just ended last week (May 6-10) with the release of our butterflies.

The picture above is my students’ excitement at watching our butterflies fly away on the playground as we released them to go find their new “friends.”
