This book was introduced to me by my “neighbor” at school, Miss Maker Space aka Miss Liz. It is so cute, colorful and funny – how could you not love it? The children certainly did! #makelearningfun!
My personal favorite:
After the story, we listened to this song. It is a wonderful song for the children to move to, and learn about the four stages of the butterfly.
The children were all four stages!
Egg:
Caterpillars eating green leaves:
A chrysalis standing tall and still:
And finally a butterfly, letting her wings dry and then flying!
We also looked at the chrysalises that we have at school. We are waiting, and getting a little impatient ourselves! 🙂
Butterflies on the projector:
My after school classes had caterpillar races:
…and since our chicks just hatched… we had to hang out with them:
Another Beatrix and Berto approved book!
