There are so many fun activities you can do for a caterpillar-butterfly unit … and what a great way to introduce insects and metamorphosis!
Making Adjectives Awesome Do you need something fresh to go over adjectives with your students or something easy for them to work on independently while you do assessing? You’ve come to the right place. Since spring has finally sprung, tis the season for caterpillars and butterflies. I hope your kiddos will enjoy butterfly and caterpillar adjectives. It’s a nice way to build vocabulary and work on those describing words that will enhance their writing and nail that core standard. Students color their caterpillar and butterfly, trace the adjectives, add a few of their own, cut them out, sort them to whatever sheet they feel is appropriate, and glue them down. I’ve included an FYI about how some adjectives are sometimes words that can be used as verbs and adverbs and provide teachable moments, as well as a reminder bookmark of what an adjective is. This makes a fun writing center or Daily 5 activity. Click on the link to view/download butterfly caterpillar adjective worksheets.

I walked through Wal-Mart yesterday for a few things and was so excited to see the back-to-school supplies were out! Well, the part about school being back in session soon didn't get me excited. It was more the bin full of 25 cent glue sticks. I loaded up on glue sticks, rulers, pencil holders, pens, and pencil sharpeners. I had to get some pool noodles too because I saw Kelly's Throwback Thursday post about using pool noodles as tens and ones for place value. It's linky time again! Click the picture to visit the Ten Linky orginial post. This is a complete side note, but is anyone else having trouble with some of their boards disappearing? This has happened to me more than once. In the middle of creating this post, my science board disappeared. The number of my followers also changed (by about 20). So I made breakfast, did a little bit of laundry, went back to Pinterest and it still isn't there. What?? Some of the science pictures might not work, but you can click on the link below the picture that takes you to the source.

This is a free download and it fits the needs of my students perfectly. My students loved this visual aid! It's another freebie. This was one of the first things I made back in December. It's a big hit in my TPT. I hung them up in my room and my students were interested in seeing the different types of landforms. Goes along great with the landforms posters!

It looks like I'll be in "butterfly world" for a while with my grandma's party and all. My son' preschool class recently studied butterflies, even grew some from caterpillars (something I plan on doing here after we get back from vacation later this Spring). I had seen this example of an edible butterfly cycle. I decided that we would try it in our house for an interesting snack. I look forward to trying some of her stuff with the Very Hungry Caterpillar as well. We drew the four basic stages on a plate as my son told me about each in detail. It was his job to put everything in the right category. He's a pretty good teacher! We used marshmallows for the eggs, gummy worms for caterpillars, tootsie rolls for the chrysalis and fancy crackers for the butterfly. Very proud of his work (probably more excited to eat it than anything)!
These first two are Quiet Time Worksheets for kids to work on individually. You could also keep a few of these on standby in a “Fast Finisher Box”, for any students that finish other wo…
