CSAS 3rd Graders Observe Monarch Life Cycle

Thursday, September 11th, 2025: At Citizenship & Science Academy of Syracuse Elementary, third-grade students are experiencing the magic of science firsthand! They have been closely observing Monarch caterpillars as they transform through each life cycle stage—from tiny caterpillars to chrysalis and soon to vibrant butterflies.

This hands-on learning experience allows students to see science in action while deepening their understanding of life cycles, patience, and the wonder of nature. The excitement in the classroom is contagious, as everyone eagerly awaits the moment the butterflies spread their wings and take flight!

What an incredible way to spark curiosity and bring learning to life.
