GOSHEN — Students in Christine Guerrier's class at Scotchtown Avenue Elementary School worked together to raise butterflies in their classroom. The students raised them from caterpillars and documented their progress in journals as they watched them go through all the stages of chrysalis and butterfly.
The butterflies were fed sugar water until they were ready to be released in the school's courtyard. Ms. Guerrier said the students loved the activity and looked forward to checking on the butterflies each day.
