Butterfly Project at Orlo Ave School

Through a grant, all classrooms at Orlo received a Butterfly habitat and caterpillars. Thank you to National Grid for once again supporting our school in integrating STEAM into our school community. Students, through various activities including research, observation, and reading were able to experience the wonder of metamorphosis. Our Painted Ladies arrived as caterpillars, ate and grew before our eyes, transformed into chrysalis, and emerged as Painted Ladies. Our STEAM week was enhanced by the experience and everyone got to enjoy the butterflies being released outside. We hope to continue this annual event year after year, making it bigger and better each time. If you happen to see one of our Orlo butterflies flutter by, be sure to admire them and know they were sent with many well wishes from us to you!
