Marnie TenCate’s second-graders and Karin Cramer’s fourth-graders made it happen as part of a STEM project. Students learned about how human activity has destroyed natural habitats, with one of the results being the decrease in monarch butterflies. Earlier in the school year, they watched caterpillars turn into butterflies before releasing them.
