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
