🦋 Mrs. Owens’ class at Kanawha City Elementary had a wonderful time releasing the painted lady butterflies they’ve been raising and learning about in science class! 🐛➡️🦋 The students got to watch the whole life cycle—from tiny caterpillars to beautiful butterflies—and earlier this month, they released them! 🌸🌿 Such a fun and hands-on way to learn about nature and science! 🧠🌞 Great job, scientists! 👏💛










🌿🌱 A few months ago, students at Kanawha City Elementary planted tiny coleus seeds and have been patiently watching them sprout and grow. 🌟Now that their plants are thriving, each student created their own terrarium! 🪴✨
👩🔬🔬They’ll spend the next few weeks caring for their mini ecosystems, learning firsthand about responsibility, growth, and the magic of nature. 🧠
We’re so proud of these young scientists! 💚
