This spring at High Road School of Hartford Primary/Middle School, students got to participate in a two-week unit of learning about the lifecycle of caterpillars and butterflies. With the help of our related services team, students worked on vocabulary, sequencing, and describing attributes by observing their class caterpillars every day and taking notes on their changes. Students especially loved naming their caterpillars; we had some very creative names ranging from Cali to Chicken!

Butterfly Celebration

There was a lot of excitement when each caterpillar finally created their chrysalis and was transferred into a larger enclosure. Finally, after another week of patiently waiting, the butterflies emerged, and the students celebrated with a day-long series of fun activities including a special butterfly snack and art project, culminating in the release in a pollinator garden outside. Some of our students even dressed up for the occasion in butterfly wings and masks.
