I know that many teachers do their butterfly unit in the spring, but we do ours in the fall. That is because we raise Monarch butterflies in our school garden in August and September. We grow common milkweed in our garden and use the leaves to feed our caterpillars. We look for eggs and caterpillars on the milkweed and bring them into our classroom to observe and watch their growth. It is such an amazing experience for my kinders.
When the butterfly emerges and we set it free, we do this simple craft.
This resource is free (for awhile) in my TPT store if you would like to use it. Just click the image below to take you there!
Until next time,
Blessings,
