Today Mrs. Martinez's second graders from Washington explored the amazing life cycle of a butterfly! Mrs. Martinez’s students learned about the four stages: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly. They discovered how a tiny egg grows into a caterpillar, transforms inside a chrysalis, and finally emerges as a beautiful butterfly. Our young scientists had so much fun learning about nature, asking great questions, and seeing how incredible the process of metamorphosis really is! 🌱🐛🦋
