0614 St Mark butterfly life cycles
Kindergarten teacher Lauren Batson prepares to open one of five butterfly houses so the children can witness the fulfillment of their project.
Children at Saint Mark Kindergarten gathered on the playground on a cloudy day in May to watch the school’s annual butterfly release.
For weeks the children observed and recorded the insects’ development from caterpillar to butterfly. For days after the release they eagerly watched for the butterflies in the playground garden.
