Caterpillars and Butterflies

During our Unit on growing and changing we did a lot of research on caterpillars and butterflies.  We read several nonfiction texts as well as The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Seed of the Milkweed.  Our big project was completed in several steps.  We started by talking about symmetry and made symmetrical painting.  Then the next day we made caterpillars.  After that we cut out the butterfly wings and added the caterpillar to make the body of the butterfly.  We also made milkweed plants, which is what Monarch butterflies and caterpillars eat.  Below is the display we created.
