Butterfly Garden Plans Take Flight!

Mr. Rick Micula, a nationally recognized, award-winning author, lecturer, and butterfly farmer came recently to talk to the second grade classes.  

As you can see, Mr. Micula gave students a vivid firsthand account of the world of a butterfly.  The second grade students are busy learning all they can about butterflies in order to design a butterfly habitat area in the Outdoor Classroom.  This endeavor is an exciting example of a project-based learning curriculum, in which students will work cooperatively to conduct research, problem-solve, debate, and make decisions - all to reach their goal of creating a school butterfly garden. We'll keep you updated on their progress!
