🌎🦋 Earth Day Fun in Mrs. Boltz’s Class! 🦋🌎



Today was such an exciting day in Mrs. Boltz’s class as we celebrated Earth Day while learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly!

Our students have been patiently observing and learning each stage—and today was the best surprise yet… our butterflies hatched! 🦋 Watching this transformation come to life was such a special moment for our kiddos.

To continue our Earth Day celebration, we took learning outside and went on a scavenger hunt in our outdoor classroom! Students explored nature, made connections to what we’ve been learning, and enjoyed the beauty of the world around them. 🌿🌸

It was a day full of hands-on learning, excitement, and appreciation for nature! 💚
