Second grade students at Poestenkill Elementary School released their painted lady butterflies after spending several weeks observing their life cycle. Students watched as the caterpillars grew, formed chrysalises, and eventually emerged as butterflies. Releasing the butterflies into their natural habitat was an exciting and memorable experience!
