HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thunder. October 20. 1966 Bird, Butterfly Projects Engross 3rd Grade Pupils "Oh. look! Our butterfly has come out!" said Sandra Bennett, third grade pupil In the room of Mrs. Velva Bcchdolt at Hepp nor Element arv school. She was talking about the first Monarch tutterflv to emerge from its chrvsalis while the class was cncaRed in a study of butter flies in a recent project While this class was engros sed in this project, children tn the room of Mrs. Mildred Han na. also third gralers, were studying birds. Start of the butterfly project came when the children decid ed to write a letter to Ashland to order the chrysalides, and they held a contest to deter mine who should write it. Mike Orwick won. After the cocoons arrived, they were placed on the walls so that the children could watch the changes taking place. The pale green and gold colors changed to black before the beautiful black and yellow butterfly emerged. This process took about five minutes, but it was three hours before the insect could fly. AH but one were released, ex cept for the one which was saved for the class science pro ject, Mrs. Bechdolt said. As a result of the project, pupils learned writing, spelling, language, and arithmetic, as well as science. Arithmetic was correlated because of the price paid for the chrysalis, the postage and stamps. Mrs. Hanna's class started the bird study by finding old nests of different birds. They were collected in the fall of the year when they were no longer used.. The pupils found that birds build many different kinds of nests, such as tree nests, holes in a tree trunk, the hanging nest of the oriole, and others. They learned that birds use many kinds of materials to build the nests, including grass, horsehair, mud. string, wool, twigs and sticks. The youngsters found that birds have different sizes, shapes and colors; that they have different kinds of bills and claws, each one serving its respective purpose. Food that the birds eat. the children discovered, are insects, bugs, insect eggs, grain, fish, seeds, fruit and small animals, such as rats and mice. At the conclusion of the pro ject, the class made a bird booklet Couple Greets Guests On 25th Anniversary The country home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wright at Ruggs was opened to friends and rela tives Sunday afternoon, October 16, for a reception which hon ored them on their silver wed ding anniversary.
