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…

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.
