Seaford Monarchs in First GradePosted on: Friday, October 14, 2016First graders at Seaford Elementary School spent the first quarter learning about Monarch butterflies. Sabrina Phan’s class had hands-on experience with the life cycle of the butterflies, as they got to watch eggs hatch and the caterpillars grow and become beautiful Monarchs.
