Rainy Day Tissue Paper Butterflies - Differentiated Kindergarten
Sometimes, you just need something a little bright and cheerful when the rainy days are gray and dreary. With only one, little, pathetic window in my classroom, I decided we needed to brighten things up a bit for days when the sun wasn’t so sunny. So we whipped up some tissue paper, stained glassed butterflies that…
preschool - Butterfly day
This week we talk about butterflies. I was pretty happy that it was my turn to teach. How fun are butterflies? You can't talk about butterflies without reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. I usually don't choose the books that the kids have probably heard a hundred times, but they did have a lot of fun with this one. I love this big book.

An Oldie But Goodie - Kindergarten Symmetrical Drip Butterflies
I've done this project with Kindergarten students and a similar one with 1st graders ever since I can remember. But it's one of those oldies but goodies! I'm sure many of you have done something similar. This is usually a close to end of year project. The students get excited when I tell them we are going to make a butterfly with paint, but we are not going to use brushes and our fingers will not touch the paint!
