Montgomery Catholic Kindergarten Study Life Cycle and Release Butterflies

Kindergarten students at Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School finished their unit on the life cycle of butterflies by releasing them in their courtyard.  Each child kept a butterfly journal as they progressed through the life cycle unit.  The children enjoyed watching the butterflies develop in the cocoons while learning about the life cycle process in the classroom.  Pictured are kindergarten students in Mrs. Debbie Redden's class at Montgomery Catholic's St. Bede Elementary Campus with their butterflies prior to release.
