Today in Early 3’s we talked about butterflies and how they emerge from their chrysalis. The children were very interested in the topic, and I showed them a video of a Monarch butterfly emerging.
Here is a link to the video we watched: http://youtu.be/R5QH3bGF4uU
We painted butterflies….
Keeping the “insect” theme, we worked on our cutting skills by cutting “grass” to “hide” the bugs on the page.
During group time, we demonstrated how a butterfly needs to struggle as it comes out of its cocoon. We talked about the importance of not helping a butterfly, even if we think it is struggling.
