Third Grade Releases Butterflies

By: Briton Waters, PCA Junior

On Friday, October 6, the third grade students at Pinewood Christian Academy (PCA) released butterflies that they have watched grow over the past week.  Mrs. Crystal Deloach and Mrs. Pam Daniel brought their lesson to life to help teach their students about insects.  Students had the opportunity to observe as the larva changed from a caterpillar to a chrysalis and finally to a Monarch butterfly.   Once the butterflies emerged, the students released them over the memorial benches of Peyton Randall, Katie Bell Jarriel, Clay Oliver, and Joshua Harris.  The third graders enjoyed observing the butterflies as they went through their stages of life.
